I remember it was 55.

Had a co-worker who inflicted that on his poor stuck at home family.

Carter awlays liked to let you know he was an enginneer & had been trained in the Navy Nuclear program. In action he was remarkably ill-informed about enegy & energy production. I have a feeling he was actually a crappy submarine nuclear prolusion engineer hence his brief Navy career.

I looked it up, though I hate to post a link to the New York Times. Here it is:

https://www.nytimes.com/1977/01/22/archives/president-urges-65-as-top-heat-in-homes-to-ease-energy-crisis-cites.html

HOWEVER, there may well have been a different edict for nighttime. I didn’t want to spend that much time at the New York Times and just went with the headline :)
