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.

TAGS: CASC ASEC SY
SUBJECT: Cancellation of Travel Warning - Syria 
 
1.  The Travel Warning issued for Syria on February 12, 
2009, is hereby rescinded.  The Department of State deems 
the security situation in Syria no longer merits a Travel 
Warning. 
 
2.  Review of the security situation in Syria is ongoing, 
and the Department can disseminate a new Travel Warning 
as circumstances warrant. 
 
3. U.S. citizens living or traveling in Syria are 
encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. embassy or 
consulate at the Department of State's travel 
registration page in order to obtain updated information 
on local travel and security.  U.S. citizens without 
Internet access may register directly with the nearest 
U.S. embassy or consulate.  Registration is important; it 
allows the State Department to assist U.S. citizens in an 
emergency. 
 
4. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus can be reached at 963-11- 
3391-4444, including for after-hours emergenices; the fax 
number is 963-11-3391-3999.  The Embassy's web site, 
which includes consular information and the most recent 
messages to the American community in Damascus, is at 
http://damascus.usembassy.gov. 
 
5. For the latest security information, Americans living 
and traveling abroad should regularly monitor the 
Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet 
website at http://travel.state.gov, where the current 
Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts as well 
as the Country Specific Information for Syria can be 
found. Up-to-date information on security can also be 
obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the 
United States and Canada or, for callers outside the 
United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202- 
501-4444.  These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 
8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except 
U.S. federal holidays).
