Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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: U.S.-Russia Summit Results Demarche Delivered: Greek MFA 
Officer Praises Nonproliferation Negotiation Efforts 
 
REF: STATE 70576 
 
(SBU) PolOff delivered reftel points to Greek Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs Russia Desk Officer Constantinos Tsakonas on July 10. 
Tsakonas thanked PolOff for being forthcoming with details from the 
U.S.-Russia Presidential Summit and spoke highly of efforts made to 
reinvigorate nonproliferation negotiations.  He praised President 
Obama for "following through on campaign commitments" regarding 
nonproliferation and was happy to hear that U.S. negotiators were 
working with the Russians on a follow-on agreement to the START 
treaty.  Tsakonas, who previously covered NATO and U.N. issues, 
estimated that U.S.-Russia negotiations would act as a "breath of 
fresh air" and reinvigorate U.N. and regional talks on arms control 
and disarmament.
