Hope this helps, FAA legal take on this
Essentially if you configure the aircraft to meet a speed requirement than do so.
it mentions minimum safe speed, not minimum clean speed. Someone asked if the could fly a 737 clean, and they turned around and said no, configure the jet.
they also talk about ATC requirements
