There are numerous statues concerning wiretaps. Generally, for federal
purposes, if one party of the conversation (e.g. the caller) has given
consent,
recording is ok.

This is true. It's very relevant to the Scott Peterson trial; in court and
on the news they've been playing tapped telephone conversations recorded for
the police by his mistress without his consent. The way I learned it in
journalism school, as long as one party consents the line can be tapped.
