I heard it called “No Immediate Miracle”. Ford also had stickers stuck on federal building walls, including colleges, right next to thermostats advising what tempature to set the thing. I think it was 70 in the winter and 80 in the summer. Someone figured out it was going to cost a lot more to remove the stickers from the walls than they could save in 20 years on utility bills.
There have been some very smart men who served in the white house. Ford wasn’t one of them. And he was followed by another one.

I think Ford was supposed to hold the office until Rockefeller could get situated, then resign. (I also think Betty jacked him up over that, and told him to stay put). Then Rockefeller seized up (I heard three different activity/place/other person versions of that on the radio before they settled on the story). and those plans went out the window, for whoever made them.
Otherwise, we'd have had the current mess a decade or two earlier.
