Unequivocal in a sentence

Hello all.

I need to know the correct structure of the following sentence.

I wish to be unequivocal in saying that I still intend to attend the disciplinary hearing in order to clear my name.

or should it be

I am unequivocal in saying that I still intend to attend the disciplinary hearing in order to clear my name.

or

I wish to make unequivocally clear that I still intend to attend the disciplinary hearing in order to clear my name.

Perhaps all of these are wrong?

Thanks for your help

I concur with AS.
Another possibility would be I wish to state unequivocally that...
You could also say I wish to state categorically that...

Thanks Blue Jay,
would you say that 'categorically' carries the same weight as 'unequivocally'?

I originally intended to use 'absolutely' but decided that not everybody regards it as 'absolute' due to it's common use in spoken language.

Ben Baberwould you say that 'categorically' carries the same weight as 'unequivocally'?
Yes. They both denote clearly,certainly and free from ambiguity or doubt or wavering.

You have a point. Unequivocally or categorically are both stronger,
