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.

REF: SECSTATE 57932 
 
Classified By: AMBASSADOR CAROL VAN VOORST, REASON 1.5 (D). 
 
(C) Post discussed reftel points with Icelandic MFA Acting 
Political Director (and Head of Security and Disarmament 
Division) Thordur Bjarni Gudjonsson April 24.  Gudjonsson 
confirmed that catch-all controls legislation has been 
drafted but regretted that it has been stuck for some time in 
the understaffed MFA Legal Adviser's office.  The Legal 
Adviser has undertaken to approve the draft for delivery to 
the Althing (Icelandic Parliament) in time for the 
legislature's fall session, which will begin in October. 
(Note:  The spring session is ending shortly to allow 
politicians to campaign in the run-up to municipal elections 
scheduled to be held nationwide May 27.  End note.) 
Gudjonsson asserted that for practical purposes Iceland is 
meeting its nonproliferation obligations even in the absence 
of a comprehensive domestic legal regime.
