Understanding cables

  • 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.

DISTRIBUTION. 
 
1. (SBU) On Friday, June 12, Econ Officer delivered the demarche 
contained in REFTEL to Rubem Barbosa, the Special Advisor for 
International Relations to the Minister of Mines and Energy. 
 
2. (SBU) Mr. Barbosa stated the Government of Brazil (GOB) is aware 
of IRENA but that the GOB does not plan to join it because Brazil's 
focus is on biofuels and hydro power, both of which are not 
priorities for IRENA. 
 
3. (SBU) Mr. Barbosa also confirmed that the United Arab Emirates 
has approached Brazil about their ambitions to be the seat of IRENA. 
 While Mr. Barbosa mused that it would be interesting for this to be 
the first major international organization seated in the Middle 
East, he felt that Brazil's intention to not join IRENA meant that 
they would not be involved in the selection of the organization's 
headquarters.
