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.

INTENTIONS TO PURSUE BILATERAL START FOLLOW-ON AGREEMENT: 
RUSSIAN RESPONSE 
 
REF: STATE 30048 
 
We delivered reftel demarche to Vladimir Yermakov, MFA 
Director for Strategic Capabilities Policy on March 31. 
Yermakov expressed appreciation for the notification, 
commenting that there had been a preliminary discussion with 
the Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukrainian delegations at the last 
session of the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission 
(JCIC) meeting that the follow-on to the START Treaty would 
be a bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Russia.  He 
said Moscow had intended to follow up with the three 
countries, but it had not happened. In any event, Russia and 
the U.S. agreed that the follow-on treaty should be a 
bilateral one.  He expected there would be further discussion 
at the next JCIC and said Russia would like to consult with 
the U.S. on a joint position prior to that meeting.
