Thank you for your email to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
(DFAT) Freedom of Information section seeking access to cables from 1962.

You may wish to consider lodging an application for access with the
National Archives of Australia via

As your request is not a valid request in accordance with the FOI Act, no
further action will be taken by DFAT.
