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: STATE 93173 
 
(SBU) On July 5, we delivered reftel points to Tonu 
Miller, Acting MFA Director for Security and Arms 
Control, and Kristjan Prikk, MFA Security and Arms 
Control Desk Officer, and requested the GOE donate 
surplus ammunition to the Government of Lebanon (GOL). 
Given the Estonian Defense Force's limited stock of the 
specific ammunition requested and ongoing demands from 
Estonia's own military operations in Afghanistan and 
Iraq, Prikk said that it was highly unlikely that 
Estonia could donate any surplus ammunition to the GOL 
in the 10-15 day timeframe requested.
