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: POLAND - NO REPORTS OF FORCED CHILD LABOR IN 
PRODUCTION OF GOODS 
 
REF: STATE 21472 
 
There are no reports of forced child labor or exploitative 
child labor in the production of goods in Poland.  We 
inquired with the Ministry of the Interior and 
Administration, the Children's Rights Ombudsman's office, the 
Center for Human Trafficking at Warsaw University (which 
recently did a study with ILO on forced labor in Poland), 
Nobody's Children Foundation (the leading NGO on children's 
issues), and LaStrada (Poland's leading NGO on trafficking). 
None of these organizations was aware of any cases in Poland.
