The 107th United States Congress resolution (HRes 269) of June 11, 2002, recognized the contributions of Antonio Meucci. This was interpreted by some as establishing priority for the invention of the telephone to Meucci.〔Resolution's sponsor Vito J. Fossella 〕〔Estreich, Bob. (Antonio Meucci: (section) The Resolution ). Retrieved from BobsOldPhones.net website, February 25, 2011. Quote: "It should be noted that the text of the Resolution ''does not'' acknowledge Meucci as the inventor of the telephone. It does acknowledge his early work on the telephone, but even this is open to question." 〕〔Bethune, Brian. ("Did Bell steal the idea for the phone?" ), ''Macleans'', January 23, 2008. Retrieved: April 30, 2009. 〕〔 /> The House of Representatives' resolution did not annul or modify any of Bell's patents for the telephone. During the 108th Congress another resolution, SRes 223 was introduced in the United States Senate and died, unenacted.〔 United States Senate.

(S.Res.223 (108th Congress) ), Retrieved from GovTrack.us website on February 28, 2011.〕 Shortly afterward, the Canadian government passed a similar motion declaring Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone. The HRes 269 resolution was widely reported by various news media at the time and is still cited by Meucci advocates as proof that he has been acknowledged as the first inventor of the telephone.〔("News Flash: U.S. House of Representatives Says Alexander Graham Bell Did Not Invent the Telephone." ) ''History News Network'', George Mason University, June 20, 2002. Retrieved: April 30, 2009.〕 The resolution has equally been criticized for its factual errors, inaccuracies, biases and distortions.〔〔〔 == Full text of the U.S. House of Representatives Resolution 269 == As directly quoted in HRes 269 (Ver.
