Shawn:
I have been in contact with the U.S. Office of Military Cooperation in Sofia. My statement may have sounded too comprehensive but Bulgaria has been alloted U.S. military aid funds that must be used to buy American equipment. They have chosen to buy, for instance, the PASGT helmet and are looking seriously at the F-16 Block 50. I do think that it is mostly in the pipeline and will not be
in use by the troops for some time.
