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.

1. (SBU)  Per reftels, the GOI will likely postpone its 
proposed Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism 
(GICNT) expert-level workshop tentatively scheduled for 
November 2009.  According to MFA Arms Control Advisor Israel 
Tikochinski, the GOI was not aware of competing GICNT events 
also scheduled for November 2009, including specifically an 
exercise hosted by the Dutch and an Exercise Planning Group 
hosted by the Hungarians.  Tikochinski said the GOI 
appreciated Washington's interest in the GOI's workshop 
proposal focusing on legal aspects and forensics issues 
related to combating nuclear and radiological terrorism.  He 
noted that the MFA will need to consult with the Israel 
Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) and other GOI interagency 
stakeholders to determine whether February 2010 is a suitable 
alternative to host the workshop.  If not then, Tikochinski 
said the GOI will work with Washington to determine an 
appropriate time frame.  Tikochinski discussed these issues 
with polmiloff on May 6.
