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: RUSSIA UNSURE IF RESOLUTION ON DRC IS PROPER 
MECHANISM 
 
REF: SECSTATE 16195 
 
ΒΆ1.  (SBU)  We delivered reftel demarche to MFA International 
Organizations Senior Counselor Valentin Berezovskiy on 
February 29, who said that he would report the information 
and notify the Russian UN Mission about the decision. 
Berezovskiy told us that Russia maintained its long-standing 
position that all foreign troops in the DRC should be 
repatriated and was not opposed to the draft UNSC resolution, 
but expressed doubt that a resolution would have any more 
impact than existing Presidential Statements.  He was also 
concerned about the UNSC's will to support follow-up action 
if parties in the DRC did not respond to the resolution.
