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.

1. Amman believes that an Op-Ed authored by a senior USG official 
which details the human rights situation in Cuba and the plight of 
Cuban refugees would be the most effective way to commemorate the 
Day of Solidarity with the Cuban People in Jordan.  Post will work 
to gain the widest possible placement of such an Op-Ed in the 
Jordanian press.  Post requests that IIP inform us if any Op-Ed's 
are already being prepared, and seeks to get a text at least one 
week in  advance in order to prepare an accurate translation into 
Arabic. 
 
2. Post will also be in touch with the Office of Commerce Secretary 
(and Co-Chair of the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba) 
Gutierrez to inquire whether his office will be issuing suitable 
materials for placement. 
 
3.  Embassy Amman POC is PAO Phil Frayne.
