“During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.”
Does not really change the meaning, does it. He still claimed credit for creating the internet.

The only credit he deserves, is that he put his name on a few spending bills and he voted for them. The credit for the initial, so called, internet belongs to the military and the researchers (egg head geeks) that worked with the military. Al Gore was not even in congress at that time.
