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.

(SBU) On November 9, EconOff delivered points on the 
resolution to ban human cloning before the Sixth Committee 
(Ref A) to Ghassan Shaikho, MFA Director of International 
Organizations.  Shaikho noted Saudi Arabia's support for the 
Costa Rican resolution and indicated that he expected Bahrain 
would follow the SAG lead (Ref B) and vote in favor of the 
resolution as currently drafted.  He did not clarify whether 
the GOB had received a fatwa from Bahrain's Ministry of 
Islamic Affairs (Ref C) that would help the GOB justify its 
position.
