Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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: EGYPT: CONSIDERING NAVAL SUPPORT TO WFP FOR HORN 
OF AFRICA 
 
REF: SECSTATE 69644 
 
Sensitive but unclassified, not for Internet distribution. 
 
(SBU) On July 1, the Ambassador raised with Deputy Foreign 
Minister Wafaa Bassim the need for the international 
community to increase support to the World Food Program (WFP) 
for immediate needs in the Horn of Africa, and asked for 
Egypt to contribute financially and to consider providing 
naval escort support given imminent Dutch naval withdrawal. 
Bassim was non-committal on financial assistance but said she 
would pursue the possibility of providing naval escort 
support, and would check with the Ministry of Defense (MOD). 
MFA Cabinet Advisor for African Affairs Ahmed Abu Zeid 
confirmed with us on July 2 that he was following up this 
issue with the MOD.
