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.

(SBU) Embassy delivered Ref A points to MFA Energy Department 
Deputy Director General Hakki Akil February 11.  Akil said 
his government welcomed the Ukrainian decision, but he 
cautioned that they would not be ready to celebrate until oil 
actually flowed through the pipeline "in the right 
direction."   Akil said he had heard that Chevron-Texaco was 
"very interested" in negotiating a deal with Kiev to 
transport crude through Odesa-Brody, and expressed hope the 
USG would encourage such a deal.  Embassy responded that the 
USG has encouraged the GOU to negotiate with commercial 
players, and would stay engaged.  Akil responded that his 
government would do the same.
