Did Al Gore invent the Internet?

According to a CNN transcript of an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Al Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Al Gore was not yet in Congress in 1969 when ARPANET started or in 1974 when the term "Internet" first came into use. Gore was elected to Congress in 1976.

In fairness, Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf acknowledged in a paper titled, "Al Gore and the Internet," that Gore supported the growth of the Internet.
