Many states require that both parties to a conversation give consent to having it recorded. And if you don't give consent, often they will hang up. Then contact you by letter, if its important.
Generally speaking, I wouldn't give consent unless its something you really want to get moving forward, and then be VERY careful what you say. What they may be looking for is an admission of liability for an accident. Don't be lulled into making one, and it needn't be an obvious admission: "Was it snowy that day?"
"Yeah, probably about 3 inches".
"Yep, it sure is easy to get caught in a slippery situation under those conditions."
If you say ANYTHING that would tend to agree with that last statement, it can be construed as an admission that you were negligent.
This is another good reason for having liability insurance- turn it over to your insurer, and let him worry about it.
If its a govt. agency, I'd ask them what its about before giving permission to record.
Believe it or not, there are some states that only require "permission" (and notice to) ONE party to the conversation. Well, Duh- of course the recording party is giving "permission". You wonder how grown-ups could be so clueless as to pass something like that.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
