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.

REF: STATE 123081 
 
We delivered reftel demarche to MFA Chief of Disarmament and 
Nonproliferation Fethi Metref during a November 23 meeting in 
which we urged Algeria to abstain or vote against UNGA 
resolutions that contain an anti-Israel bias.  Metref 
received the demarche without comment; however, he assured us 
that his colleagues in multilateral affairs would contact us 
regarding any subsequent response.  Given the Algerians' 
support for such resolutions in the past, and their general 
position on Palestine, we have no reason to believe that 
Algeria will support the U.S. either in opposing or 
abstaining from votes concerning resolutions with an 
anti-Israel bias.
