I can't find the email message now because I'm supposed to be working, but Vint [wikipedia.org] Cerf [ibiblio.org] told me that, before Al Gore, the ARPANET was a private utility. Al Gore decided it should be a public service, and provided considerable support from the U.S. Congress to turn the ARPANET into the Internet.
Many people did the work. Many people should have some of the credit. But, according to Vint Cerf, Al Gore was the first public official to decide that there should be a public utility called the Internet.

100 Facts and 1 Opinion -- The Non-Arguable Case Against the Bush Administration [thenation.com].
