MOS05D:RUSSIA:MOSCOW,13MAR00 - Natalia Timakova, an employee of Acting President Vladimir Putin's press office, answers a journalist's question about the book she compiled, "From the first person. Conversations with Vladimir Putin", during a news conference in Moscow March 13. The book release has been delayed until the end of a Russian presidential election to be held March 26 after the country's Central Election Commission ruled the book was election propaganda and can only be distributed by Putin's campaign in quantities limited by strict caps on campaign spending. waw/Photo by Viktor Korotayev REUTERS
