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.
Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08REYKJAVIK67.

    SUBJECT: REYKJAVIK REQUESTS EMBASSY SCIENCE FELLOW FOR 2008 PROGRAM

    ¶1. (U) Post requests an Embassy Science Fellow to help strengthen
    the bilateral science research ties between the U.S. and Iceland.
    Embassy Reykjavik has designated the expansion of bilateral science
    ties as a key priority in our FY2010 Mission Strategic Plan,
    devoting an entire goal paper to the subject.  Post believes that
    enhanced ties in this area are of considerable importance in the
    bilateral relationship and will prove materially beneficial to both
    nations.

    Post requests one fellow for the FY2008 program.  We envision a
    Fellow in one of the following areas (listed in priority order):

    -- Starting Up a Renewable Energy Lab
    -- Extreme temperature and pressure engineering (dealing with
    superheated geothermal fluid in Deep Drilling)
    -- Designing system for growing algae to produce biofuels
    -- Designing system for raising fish in heated power plant effluent

    Renewable Energy Laboratory:  Iceland has considerable expertise in
    the renewable energy fields of geothermal and hydropower and
    virtually all of their electricity and home heating is produced by
    renewable energy.  The Icelandic government also acquired some
    top-notch facilities and real estate when U.S. Naval Air Station
    Keflavik closed in 2006.  One of the institutions to grow out of the
    former base is the Keilir Atlantic Center for Excellence, which was
    formed as a collaborative effort of academic and local government,
    to provide technical education and eventually university programs.
    Keilir, with the support of the National Energy Authority and the
    Icelandic Innovation Center, wants to combine the existing renewable
    energy know-how with the existing buildings to create a renewable
    energy laboratory along same concept as the U.S. National Renewable
    Energy Lab in Colorado.  Post feels that an expert in scientific
    administration issues -- specifically, founding a new institution
    and matching a vision statement with the resources at hand -- would
    help the Icelanders start their project, and would build on U.S.
    Dept. of Energy efforts in Iceland to date.

    Extreme Temperature and Pressure Engineering:  The International
    Deep Drilling Program is a multi-national geothermal energy project
    in Iceland that is drilling 5 kilometer deep wells to harness
    potential geothermal power predicted to be ten times the power
    harnessed at shallower depths.  Among the issues the project faces
    are the high temperatures (240 to 350 degrees Celsius) for drilling,
    piping and instrumentation, as well as the scaling and corrosion in
    pipes and turbines from geothermal fluid.  Post met with a visiting
    NASA engineer who mentioned that high temperature materials,
    coatings, and instrumentation technologies developed by NASA may be
    of use to this research effort.  A science fellow in this field
    would considerably boost the project's chances for success and set
    the stage for productive follow-on collaboration.

    Aquaculture as a Byproduct of Geothermal Energy:  Byproducts of
    geothermal power plants include a relatively pure carbon dioxide
    stream and warm water.  One of Iceland's publicly owned water and
    power utilities is seeking to design a system to grow algae that
    digest the carbon dioxide emissions.  The algae could be used to
    produce oils for a variety of uses, including biofuels or as food
    additives.  The same utility is also seeking to design a system that
    uses the warm water effluent to farm fish.  The utility has
    approached post to determine whether U.S. scientific expertise --
    specifically in designing the systems to accomplish the goals of
    utilizing the power plant wastes -- might be available to further
    research in this field.

    ¶2. (U) Administrative details:  No foreign language skills are
    necessary.  It will be easier for post to provide housing for a
    Summer Fellow, but otherwise Embassy Reykjavik does not have a
    preference on timing.   A minimum of six weeks is desired for the
    Fellow.  Visitors staying less than 90 days do not need a visa to
    enter Iceland.  A security clearance is not required for work.

    ¶3. (U) POC:  Post's point of contact is Economic and Commercial
    Officer Fiona Evans.  She can be reached at evansfs@state.gov and
    +354-562-9100, ext. 2295.

    ¶4. (U) Embassy Support:  Although post has a very small housing
    pool, there is a slim possibility of some housing availability this
    summer.  However, if a science fellow is available to support our
    first-priority project (founding of a renewable energy lab), post
    has a pledge of no-cost housing for the fellow from the Keilir
    Atlantic Center for Excellence in Keflavik.  Housing at Keilir would
    be conveniently located to any of post's proposals and we are
    exploring the possibility of obtaining transportation support from
    the fellow's local sponsor.  Post is committed to providing a work
    space and logistical support where possible.  Due to post's tiny
    staff, we cannot provide in-country travel arrangements.  These
    proposals have country team approval.
