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. On March 24, poloff delivered reftel demarche to Ilidio 
Caifaz, Director of National Studies, Ministry of Labor. 
Caifaz stated he would share the talking points with the 
Minister of Labor in their meeting later this week, but gave 
no indication of which candidate the GRM would support should 
the issue come to vote at the upcoming International Labor 
Conference in Geneva. 
 
2. Comment: At the recent AU Labor Affairs Commission meeting 
in Pretoria, the majority's view was to support Cuba's 
candidacy (ref A). Mozambique traditionally votes along AU 
lines and there is little indication that the practice would 
change with this vote. Mozambique also maintains close ties 
with Cuba. Minister of Foreign Affairs Abreu is currently in 
Havana for the intergovernmental meetings aimed at further 
strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries.
