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.

1.  (U) THIS CABLE IS SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED AND NOT FOR 
INTERNET DISTRIBUTION. 
 
2.  (SBU) On February 27, 2008, Environment, Science, Technology and 
Health (ESTH) Counselor met with the Deputy Director of the Ministry 
of External Relations' Department of Disarmament and Sensitive 
Technologies, Counselor Luiz Fernando Abbott Galvao, to discuss, 
among other things, developing a mechanism for reliable access to 
nuclear fuels (RANF) under the International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA).  ESTH Counselor delivered the points in REFTEL. 
 
3.  (SBU) Galvao thanked the USG for sharing its views.  He said 
that the Government of Brazil (GOB) was "ready to take part in 
discussions" on RANF.  He added, Brazil feels pretty comfortable 
with RANF because it is developing its own enrichment capabilities. 
Galvao saw Brazil as one of the countries that had enrichment 
activities under RANF.  He was looking forward to discussing RANF at 
an upcoming nuclear energy conference in Berlin in April.
