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.

TAGS: EAID PREL NZ
SUBJECT: NEW ZEALAND RESPONSE TO DEMARCHE REGARDING TURKEY 
CHANGE OF STATUS AT THE EUROPEAN BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION 
AND DEVELOPMENT (EBRD). 
 
REF: SECSTATE 41999 
 
In response to reftel, Louisa Gault policy officer in the 
European Division of New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs 
(MFAT) informed Embassy that MFAT has not yet developed a 
formal position on Turkey's request to change membership 
status with respect to the mandate of the EBRD.  Despite the 
lack of a formal position, MFAT remains open to the plan 
proposed by the United States and would not oppose it. 
However, MFAT remains cautious that it (the U.S. plan) may 
mean that members could loose the opportunity to undertake a 
wholesale review of the EBRD mandate that has been slated for 
the Capital Resources Review 4 in 2010. Per Gault, "we think 
that this 2010 review is important as the timescale for U.S 
review is very short."  Any additional information that State 
or Treasury could offer to address MFAT's concern would help 
further ensure GNZ support.
