Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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.

REF: STATE 81876 
 
ΒΆ1.  (SBU) Acting EconPol Counselor met on June 15 with Silvia 
Maca, Head of the Ministry of Finance's Export Financing and 
Promotion Department to deliver reftel points.  Maca 
acknowledged that the Kontrollbank, Austria's export credit 
agency, remained open for issuing new commitments to the 
Government of Iran.  However, Maca stressed that any 
potential credits would be strictly on a commercial basis. 
Maca added that the Kontrollbank was now reviewing "very 
carefully" all requests from Austrian businesses for new 
export or financing guarantees to do business in Iran.  The 
political risk of doing business in Iran had, in the 
Kontrollbank's calculations, increased significantly.
