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.

ΒΆ1.  (SBU)  Pol/Econ chief September 21 delivered reftel 
talking points, non-paper, and OIC resolutions regarding the 
Polio Eradication Initiative (PEI) to MFA Director for 
Bilateral Affairs Dhafer Al-Umran.  Al-Umran understood the 
connection between the PEI and the Organization of Islamic 
Conferences, but said that Bahrain, unlike many of the other 
members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, had limited 
financial resources and was unable to provide funding for the 
WHO/UNICEF polio eradication initiative.  He noted, however, 
that Rotary International had taken on polio eradication as a 
global community service project.  As a member of the Rotary 
in Bahrain, he said he would raise the issue at the next 
meeting to see if the Rotary in Bahrain might be able to 
assist in some way.
