  • 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: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK 
ON LICENSES 050031992 AND 050033446 
 
REF: BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK 2006 
 
1. This is an Action Request.  See paragraphs 2-3. 
 
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls 
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post's assistance in conducting 
a post-shipment check on licenses 050031992 and 050033446 for 
the export of night vision devices (NVDs) to Colombia.  Post 
is requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45 
days.  Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect 
pending and future licenses involving parties to this license. 
 
3. Reason for request:  Due to the sensitivity of the 
equipment and the potential for their diversion or misuse, 
the Department of State and the Department of Defense have 
policies of carefully scrutinizing NVD export licenses and 
taking steps to ensure proper end-use.  Provisos attached to 
these licenses obligate the end-user to secure the NVDs from 
loss, theft, or unauthorized access, and to perform routine 
inventory checks by serial number.  These records are to be 
made available for review upon US Government request.  Post 
is requested to make appropriate inquiries to confirm 
continued possession by the Colombian Navy of the NVDs, to 
determine the serial numbers of the NVDs, and to verify that 
all NVDs are secure and being used only for the purpose 
stated on the license.  Department requests that post conduct 
a site visit, if possible, in order to gather and verify this 
information.  If a site visit is not possible, please obtain 
official written confirmation of receipt and possession and 
inform PM/DTCC case officer.
