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.

SUBJECT: INVITATION AND PEACE PRIZE FOR SPECIAL ENVOY 
GEORGE MITCHELL 
 
REF: RABAT 0769 (NOTAL) 
 
1.  (U) Morocco,s Amadeus Institute wishes to award a Peace 
Prize to Special Envoy George Mitchell in recognition of his 
efforts to promote Middle East peace.  The prize would be 
conveyed during MEDays in Tangier between November 19 and 21 
(Reftel) at Senator Mitchell,s convenience. 
 
2.  (U) Reflecting the Amadeus Institute,s semi-official 
status, Ambassador Nasser Bourita, the Chief of Staff at 
Morocco,s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, 
called to convey the news and the invitation.  He noted that 
Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai received the 
Peace Prize in 2008 and will participate in this year,s 
MEDays.  Spanish Prime Jose Luis Zapatero has confirmed that 
he will deliver the keynote address.  Bourita also emphasized 
that a large Israeli government delegation is expected ) as 
was the case in 2008. 
 
3.  (SBU) COMMENT:  Although the Amadeus Institute is a think 
tank, it is headed by Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri,s 
son, Brahim.  The Ministry has used the think tank to bring 
officials here that the Government wishes to meet and does 
not wish to invite.  Senator Mitchell, I look forward to 
seeing you during the Forum for the Future and strongly urge 
you to come back to accept this invitation and prize.  Please 
advise soonest.  END COMMENT.
