Viewing cable 08MOSCOW1963, UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION DEMARCHE DELIVERED

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.

ΒΆ1. (SBU) On June 25, we passed reftel information on the U.S. 
priorities for the Universal Postal Union (UPU) Congress to be held 
July 23 to August 12 in Geneva to GOR officials at the MFA's North 
America Department, the International Department of the Ministry of 
Communications and Mass Media, and the Americas Division of the 
Ministry of Economic Development.  On July 9, we followed up with 
Alexander Zakharov, Counselor and Director of Bilateral Relations in 
the MFA's North America Department.  Zakharov said that the GOR had 
no substantive reaction at this time to the U.S. priorities for the 
UPU or the U.S. candidacies for election to the Council of 
Administration and the Postal Operations Council.
