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: PORTUGAL LIKELY TO ABSTAIN ON UNGA RESOLUTIONS 
WITH ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS 
 
REF: SECSTATE 159386 
 
Pol-Econ officer met with MFA International Affairs Officer 
Joao Mora to urge Portugal to oppose, or at least abstain, in 
votes on this year's UNGA resolutions with an anti-Israel 
bias.  Mora acknowledged that Portugal had similar concerns 
regarding biased draft resolutions and agreed to distribute 
the points with Portugal's representatives in Geneva, New 
York, and Washington.  Nevertheless, Mora cautioned that, as 
EU President, Portugal would vote in keeping with the EU 
consensus opinion and therefore was likely to abstain again 
during this year's votes rather than oppose the measures.
