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.

Discussing cables

1.  (U)  THIS CABLE IS SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED AND NOT FOR 
INTERNET DISTRIBUTION. 
 
2.  (SBU) Environment, Science and Technology Counselor met on 
August 14 with the Brazilian Ministry of External Relations (MRE) 
Director of the Department for the Environment and Special Themes, 
Min. Luis Alberto Figueiredo Machado, and per reftel urged Brazil to 
approve Measure 1 (2003) of the Antarctic Treaty System.  Figueiredo 
Machado responded that the Brazilian government was supportive of 
the Measure.  Since the Measure had financial implications for the 
government, he explained, it would need congressional approval.  He 
could not give an estimate of when he expected to obtain that 
approval.  He did understand the significance of obtaining the 
approval of the four outstanding members before the April 2009 
meeting in Baltimore.
