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.

1.  EconOff raised reftel with MFA Wassenaar Arrangement expert 
Bruno Bisson on March 11 and followed-up with him on March 14 
and 15, when he confirmed that he and his GOF interagency 
colleagues accept the U.S. proposal to bring a small team of 
experts to Paris on March 29 for a presentation of our joint 
U.S.-Japan proposal followed by a discussion of the proposed new 
computer metric.  We have confirmed that the meeting will begin

2.  On March 29, Bisson will be accompanied by Anne Diaz of the

the MOD that has yet to confirm attendance.  Bisson said that no 
one from the Industry Ministry with the relevant subject matter 
expertise was available, but he promised to share the points of 
our presentation with the appropriate people within the GOF 
before the April experts meeting.
