Viewing cable 08BERLIN1444, GERMANY UNLIKELY TO CHANGE STANCE ON DE-ALERTING

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
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08BERLIN1444.

RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 111744 
 
(SBU) Poloffs delivered reftel points on October 22 to MFA 
Office Director for Defense and Security Policy Bernhard 
Schlagheck.  Although Schlagheck assured that he would raise 
the points with his disarmament colleagues, he expected 
Germany to remain firm in its support for the de-alerting 
resolution.  He acknowledged that the current wording of 
resolution does not reflect stringent U.S. procedures in 
place regarding nuclear weapons, and informed Poloffs that 
MFA had sent a cable to the German UN Mission in New York 
concerning the resolution's wording.  Germany plans to raise 
this concern with the Swedes in New York.
