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.

(sbu) Canada plans to be represented at the "political level" 
-- possibly by Deputy Foreign Minister Leonard Edwards -- at 
the May 29 International Compact with Iraq Ministerial in 
Stockholm, according to Foreign Affairs and International 
Trade's Deputy Director for Iran/Iraq Jeffrey McLaren. 
McLaren stated that Canada had no plans to pledge new funds 
in Stockholm, but noted that Canada had recently earmarked 
$15 million to the International Reconstruction Fund Facility 
for Iraq (IRFFI) from Canada's overall $300 million allocated 
for Iraq reconstruction (see ref d).  This $15 million, he 
said, brings Canada's total IRFFI contributions to $115 
million.  (Comment:  Ref b provides an insight into Canada's 
view of funding Iraqi reconstruction and ref c notes that 
Canada has taken in double its allotted number of Iraqi 
refugees.  End Comment)
