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.

PEACEFUL USES ON NUCLEAR ENERGY 
 
REF: STATE 129517 
 
(SBU) Reviewing reftel points and non-paper in a December 23 
meeting with Department of International Relations and 
Cooperation (DIRCO) Deputy Director for Nuclear Disarmament 
and Nonproliferation Johann Kellerman, DepPolCouns, noticing 
that the DIRCO building was emptying out for the holidays, 
apologized for the length of the message.  Kellerman 
protested and urged POLOFF to continue, adding that the U.S. 
had good reason to be proud of its role in promoting the 
peaceful uses of nuclear energy.  Pointing to a REFTEL 
non-paper point on a $190,000 2009 U.S. investment in an 
x-ray irradiator for a Tsetse Fly project in Burkina Faso, 
Kellerman said no other country invests in peaceful nuclear 
energy the way the U.S. does.  He added that South Africa 
very much appreciates U.S. efforts to promote the peaceful 
uses of nuclear energy.
