If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

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.

SUBJECT: RESULT BLUE LANTERN CHECK ON LICENSE 050064977, 050060383, 
AND 050053797 
 
REF: SECSTATE 00017167 
 
1.  We contacted Indonesian Air Force CN-235 Procurement Division 
Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Eddy Supriono on March 25, 2008 to verify 
transaction numbers 050064977, 050060383, and 050053797.  The 
Indonesian Air Force (IAF) does not have direct contact with U.S. 
based Fatair Inc.  According to Supriono, the business transaction 
took place through local supplier PT. Putra Candra Lestari (PCL), 
which is a registered supplier of IAF.  The majority of IAF supply 
transactions utilize an Indonesian-based company, which in turn 
contracts with foreign suppliers.  In this case, PCL purchased parts 
on behalf of IAF from Fatair. 
 
2.  Supriono confirmed that IAF received the items detailed in 
reftel in full for license numbers 050053797 and 050060383 and that 
the goods are being used for the purpose as stated on the licenses. 
LTC Supriono said that there is no shipment yet for license 
050064977 and that it is a "blanket export license order".  The 
blanket license, according to Supriono, is for a future order.  He 
said PCL will forward more funds to Fatair for the upcoming 
contract.  Once an order from IAF is confirmed, PCL will send a 
wire-transfer of the funds to Fatair and the export license will 
already be available in order to speed up the process.
