Can You Name the Year? (attorney, cost, elect, Senate)

[Jill61]

Taken from a news broadcast (some specific details omitted so as not to give it away):

"Vice President [ ] says that the Senate [ ] committee would reduce the size of its request for Presidential documents – the White House might be willing to compromise. The committee is seeking hundreds of papers. . . Former Attorney General [ ] sides with President [ ] in his refusal. In McLean, VA, [he] explains: “I think the committee, seems to me, to have cast its net too widely. They haven’t so far as I know, made what I would regard as a sufficiently clear showing of why they wanted what they’ve asked for. And I think the President is entitled at least to request that they make such a showing before he produces any [ ] documents.

. . .

"Heavy rains have fallen throughout the day in Los Angeles. Forecasters predict more rain. It has set off mudslides, especially in the Topanga Canyon 40 miles North West of Los Angeles. However, there’s one proposal for making good use of the weather. Correspondent Anne Koestner has details, from Los Angeles. “Here in California there are those who are talking about “Tower Power” as an alternative during an energy crisis. The term refers to windmills atop towers on rooftops. Solomon Kagan, a young Granville, California businessman is selling such windmills, which he imports from Australia. If the wind’s blowing, the windmills, which cost [$] and up, can generate enough electricity to power homes much of the time. Extra power churned up by the wind generators can be stored in special foundries, good for three windless days.”"

I was planning to, if enough people weren't close. Neither of you have guessed in the right decade yet.
