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.

SUBJECT:  VISAS VIPER FOR JANUARY 2008 REPORTING PERIOD 
 
 
1. Members of the Embassy Rabat and Consulate General Casablanca 
joint Visas Viper Committee met February 4, 2008.  The meeting was 
chaired by the DCM and was attended by CONS, RAO, LEGATT, DAO, PD, 
CG and RSO. 
 
2. Discussion centered on procedures for reviewing information 
gained from press sources, particularly reports of judicial 
proceedings.  In future, Consular Chief will review press reports, 
check names and then report to Visas Viper Committee if any names 
appear not to be in the lookout system.  The Committee does not wish 
to retrace names which may have already been submitted. 
 
3. Legatt provided a list of 51 names in Arabic of individuals 
convicted in the Hassan Al Khatab case.  Consular Section Chief will 
get the list translated and review names to determine if all have 
been already entered into the lookout system. No names are being 
submitted for the January 2008 reporting period at this time, 
pending review of the list of names in Arabic submitted to the 
Committee by Legatt. 
 
4. The Mission's Visas Viper Coordinator is Consular Chief Miguel 
Ordonez.
