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.

1.  Further to ref A and C demarches, Turkish MFA Head of 
Multilateral Economic Affairs Department Arar wrote the 
following in an email to Poloff: "We know the reasons behind 
the US position on the regular budget of the ILO.  However it 
is difficult to support you on on this subject either, as the 
increase forseen in the budget will not lead to an overall 
increase in the countries' contribution levels.  In addition, 
the general feeling is for the increase.  The US is providing 
some 20 plus percent of the 'technical budget' of the ILO. 
If you want to make cuts, you can do it there.  In this case 
nobody will challenge you." 
 
2.  Further to ref B and C demarches, Mr. Arar wrote:  "As I 
told you, we have already promised Cuba our support through a 
mutual support agreement.  We cannot come back on our 
position on this issue."
