If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

REF: SECSTATE 88197 
 
1. (U) SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED.  NOT FOR INTERNET 
DISTRIBUTION. 
 
2. (U) We delivered reftel talking points to MFA Russia-US 
Bilateral Relations Head Alexander Zakharov on June 27. 
 
3. (SBU) Zakharov expressed his understanding that taxes make 
up the largest part of gasoline prices (a point we refuted), 
and suggested that consumers should perhaps be more angry at 
their own governments than at OPEC or producers.  However, he 
appreciated the importance of the actions and words of 
producers in contributing to political backlash in consumer 
countries.  He said the MFA would "write up a report" and 
pass the message on to relevant colleagues. 
 
4. (U) We plan to deliver the demarche to the Ministry of 
Industry as well, and will report any additional comments 
septel.
