[Complete] Scene Caption: Secretary of Defense William Cohen, flanked by Minister of Defense Georgi Ananiev (left) and Foreign Minister Nadezhda Mihailova (right), makes a statement to representatives of the news media in Sofia, Bulgaria. The July 13,1997, press availability was held at Boyana Residence, a government conference center, following a luncheon hosted for Cohen and his delegation by Bulgarian President Petar Stoyanov. Bulgaria has declared its desire for NATO membership, but was not realistically considered to be among the front runners for inclusion when the first invitations were issued to former Soviet satellite nations at the recently completed NATO summit in Madrid, Spain. Secretary Cohen, however, strongly praised the direction being taken by the young, vibrant, Bulgarian Government, and said that if the reforms and modernization continue, he could see Bulgaria as a front runner for the next round of invitations, expected to be issued sometime around the turn of the century.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
