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.

LIKELY ABSTAIN ON UNGA RESOLUTION

Polchief provided reftel A points by non-paper November 3 to 
Friedrich Stift, MFA Middle East Director, and discussed the 
issue with Stift November 4.  Stift said the GOA shares USG 
concerns about elements of the Goldstone Report and about the 
likely content of a resolution that would be introduced in 
the UNGA.  Without getting into possible textual elements, 
Stift said Austria, along with most or all other EU members, 
would likely abstain on a resolution introduced at the UNGA 
November 4 by the Arab Group and others.  He said the GOA 
continues to believe the Goldstone Report should be addressed 
at the Human Rights Council and not the UNSC.  Stift said he 
had conveyed the USG position to Austrian officials in New 
York.
