An FBI tape of telephone conversations involving Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) are fair game for the Senate Ethics Committee if an inquiry into the senator's possible role in Alaskan corruption is launched, according to Roll Call's Emily Pierce.

The tapes, which reportedly contain a conversation between Stevens and oil company executive Bill Allen, were "made as part of a wide-ranging public corruption investigation in Alaska." Allen pleaded guilty to bribing Alaskan legislators earlier this year.
