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.

REF: A. STATE 21098 
     B. HACKETT-SIMONOFF EMAIL OF 3/9/09 
 
1. (U) Department provides the following guidance regarding 
compensation for judges employed by the Special Tribunal for 
Lebanon (STL).  This guidance modifies that previously sent 
in REF A. 
 
2. (SBU) USUN may support the British compromise proposal 
which provides for a one-time adjustment of the base salary 
of STL judges to 161,681 USD.  This adjustment should be 
linked to neither the compensation rates of the UN 
professional staff nor the prevailing salaries of Hague-based 
tribunal judges.  It simply embraces the concept that 
reconsideration of salaries should be determined by the 
Management Committee on an annual basis, taking into account 
the decisions of the UNGA regarding compensation of judges in 
other tribunals.  (See REF B)
