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.

Responding to our dipnote sent to MFA on May 7 advising of 
the availability of a second tranche of anthrax vaccines, MFA 
sent a dipnote dated May 16 stating that "our authorities 
have concluded that the original offer of 10,000 doses of 
vaccines would be sufficient to meet our requirements and 
consequently, a second purchase of additional vaccines is not 
necessary."
