Viewing cable 09HELSINKI217, FINLAND: U.S. CANDIDATE FOR UN ICSC

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.

(SBU) On June 10, Finnish MFA First Secretary Ilkka Nordberg 
told PolOff that the Government of Finland (GoF) 
provisionally sees no problem in supporting the U.S. 
candidate Lucretia Myers.  Nordberg complimented the 
candidate and said that his colleagues in the Finnish UN 
Mission in New York spoke highly of her.  GoF custom is to 
provide written confirmation via their New York delegation a 
few days before the election.
