If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

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.

Discussing cables

E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: EAIR SP ECON
SUBJECT: CIVAIR: DEMARCHE DELIVERED ON VIOLATION OF FEDERAL 
AVIATION REGULATIONS 
 
REF: SECSTATE 167503 
 
 1. On January 18, Econoff delivered reftel demarche to 
Santiago Quiros, Case Officer from the Ministry of 
Infrastructure's Civil Aviation Directorate.  Econoff 
informed Quiros that in August 2007, potential Spanish 
citizen Jose Munoz allegedly violated U.S. federal aviation 
regulations by smoking on board a Continental Airlines flight 
on route to Newark, NJ from Paris.  Quiros expressed 
appreciation for the notification but advised Econoff that 
under GOS regulations, the Spanish government can only pursue 
an investigation if the air carrier is of Spanish provenance 
or if the incident occurs over Spanish airspace.  Spanish 
regulations do not permit the Civil Aviation Directorate to 
pursue a case based on the individual's nationality.  Since 
the aircraft is not/not of Spanish origin, and there is no 
indication that the infraction occurred over Spanish 
airspace, the GOS has opted not to take action. 
 
2. Post will return the files pertaining to Mr. Jose Munoz 
(2007EA250090) to EEB/TRA/OTP via diplomatic pouch.
