Viewing cable 09MANAGUA886, NATIONAL DAY MESSAGE FOR NICARAGUA: ORTEGA READS LIVE ON RADIO

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

SUBJECT: NATIONAL DAY MESSAGE FOR NICARAGUA: ORTEGA READS LIVE ON RADIO
 
REF: SECSTATE 90253 
 
(U) The Ambassador delivered the text of the President 
Obama's National Day Message contained in REFTEL to 
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, on September 2, 2009, at 
the beginning of a previously-scheduled courtesy call between 
Ortega and General Douglas Fraser, Commander of U.S. Southern 
Command (Mtg reported SEPTEL).  Ortega thanked the Ambassador 
for the letter, then without warning opened it on the spot 
and proceeded to read it aloud.  The courtesy call was being 
carried live by Sandinista Party-affiliated radio 
broadcasters, so the National Day message was likely heard 
throughout the country.
