This man's foster son Alain was the fourth head of the European Patent Office. He defeated the interim leader Alain Poher to obtain the presidency of his nation after his predecessor's wife had been implicated in the Markovic Affair. In that role, he dealt with the New Society program of his Prime Minister Jacques Chaban-Delmas, while a later prime minister, Pierre Messmer, promulgated his friendly foreign policy towards Palestine. In a different position, he oversaw the resolution of a miner's strike as well as that of an event that begun with student unrest at the University of Nanterre and spread into a revolt encompassing ten million workers. Earlier, he had worked with Charles de Gaulle in drafting the constitution of the Fifth Republic and, as prime minister, he dealt with the general strike of 1968. For 10 points, name this prime minister of France from 1962 to 1968.
