Understanding cables

  • 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: TIMOR-LESTE WILL VOTE FOR RESOLUTION CONDEMNING CUBA 
EMBARGO 
 
REF: A) STATE 00148506, B) 00148553 
 
1. (SBU) Ambassador met October 26 with Foreign Minister 
Zacarias Albano da Costa to urge that Timor-Leste vote against 
Cuba's UNGA resolution condemning the U.S. embargo (reftel A). 
Citing the President's recent speech (reftel B), we said that 
the Castro regime is continuing its longstanding practices of 
political repression, human rights violations, and economic 
mismanagement.  We argued that by shifting the focus on to the 
embargo, the Cuban regime was attempting to blame outside actors 
for its failed policies and deplorable conditions in the country. 
 
2. (SBU) Da Costa said he shared our concerns, but that 
Timor-Leste would, as in past years, vote to support Cuba's 
resolution.  He had already instructed Timor-Leste's Mission to 
the U.N. to that effect.  He said that Timor-Leste would, 
however, make a statement of vote expressing concern over the 
Cuban regime's human rights record
