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.

GOLDSTONE REPORT RESOLUTION 
 
REF: STATE 112828 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU)  Poloff conveyed reftel Goldstone report points to 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Department of International 
Organizations official Chonvipat Changtrakul November 4, 
urging Thailand to oppose a U.N. General Assembly resolution 
or other efforts to pressure the Security Council on the 
matter.  Chonvipat replied that the RTG would review 
resolution language closely in order to develop a balanced 
and fair position.  That said, Chonvipat commented that, 
while Thailand understood the precedent that a resolution 
could set if passed, the RTG was likely to abstain or vote in 
favor of a resolution.  By voting in this manner, Thailand's 
position would likely mirror that of Non-Aligned Movement 
nations.  We urged abstention.
