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.

SUBJECT: FIRST CASE OF H1N1 INFLUENZA CONFIRMED IN ICELAND
(U) On May 23, Iceland's Chief Epidemiologist Dr. Haraldur Briem
announced that a case of H1N1 influenza ("swine flu") had been
confirmed. The patient, an Icelander, had recently returned from
New York City. Initially, it was suspected that six members of his
family were infected as well but tests have confirmed that the
family is not infected. According to Briem, the infected man is not
critically ill and is on his way to recovery. Briem also said that
no extra precautions were being taken beyond health authorities'
earlier advice to maintain good hygiene standards. More information
can be found on the Icelandic Government's swine flu website,
www.influensa.is.
