Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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.

SUBJECT: FRENCH RECEPTIVE TO IOM CANDIDACY OF AMBASSADOR 
SWING, WAITING ON EUROPEAN VIEWS 
 
REF: STATE 93920 
 
1. (SBU) MFA IO PDAS-Equivalent Marc Giacomini told poloff on 
July 10 that the MFA was open to the candidacy of Ambassador 
William Lacy Swing for Director-General of the International 
Organization for Migration (IOM).  The MFA concurred with the 
U.S. "in principle" that tenure in senior UN offices should 
not exceed a maximum of two terms.  Giacomini stopped short 
of a declaration of support for Swing's candidacy for IOM 
Director-General, cautioning that the MFA needed to consult 
first with European partners who might also be considering 
national candidacies.  In any event, France would not be 
putting forward a French national for the IOM position, he 
said. 
 
2. (SBU) In addition to incumbent IOM DG Brunson McKinley's 
current campaign for a third term, Giacomini advised that 
International Labor Office (ILO) DG Juan Solavia may also 
seek a third mandate.
