Since the wind has no effect on the Power or Drag curves the answer is 60 kts.(theoretically).
Practically, if you have a tailwind,of a strength greater than the difference between Range ,and Endurance speed,you are better off flying at Endurance speed; any headwind will increase your time/reduce your range.....
