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.

Viacheslav Voloshyn, Director of Ukraine's Maritime Security 
Agency.  Voloshyn stated that in principle the State Maritime 
Agency, under the direction of the Ministry of Transport,

Security and Energy to develop means for properly scanning 
all U.S. bound cargo originating in Ukraine by July 1, 2012.

Transport were very interested in specific details concerning 
the types of scanning equipment that should be installed at

budget allocated for scanning equipment.  He also indicated 
his interest in visiting ports in Europe or the U.S. where 
scanning equipment was already in use. EconOff told Voloshyn
