Summoned at the request of my wife, Michele Debord (born Bernstein), to appear before you on 18 June 1971 at 2:35 pm in Chamber Two, for an attempt at reconciliation, I have the honor of informing you that, any reconciliation being out of the question, I do not intend to show up.
Please accept, Mr. President, my distinguished salutations.
