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.

SUBJECT: TERRORISM FINANCE--GOJ RESPONSE TO DESIGNATION OF 
WAAD PROJECT 
 
REF: STATE 1800 
 
(SBU) On January 14, Embassy Tokyo delivered reftel points on 
U.S. designation of the Waad Project  to MOFA International 
Counterterrorism Cooperation Division Deputy Director Miyako 
Ishimura.  Embassy Tokyo noted that the designation of the 
Waad Project as a terrorist support organization under 
Executive Order 13224 prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in 
any transactions with the Lebanon-based, Hizballah-run 
construction company.  Noting the designation is limited to 
U.S. persons, we stressed the importance of other countries, 
including Japan, taking similar steps to freeze Waad's 
assets.  Ishimura stated that Japan, while not sanctioning 
Hizballah, shares U.S. concerns and appreciated our efforts 
to tell her government of the designation.  She added that 
Japan would review the information provided and inform us of 
any actions taken against the company.
