	Press Release - Congressman Vito J. Fossella - New York, 13th Congressional District
		Antonio Meucci never received the recognition he deserved during his lifetime, but this evening — 113 years after his death — the House of Representatives is expected to pass a Resolution honoring his contributions and recognizing him as the true inventor of the telephone.
		"Antonio Meucci was a man of vision whose enormous talents led to the invention of the telephone," Fossella said.
		The Supreme Court of the United States eventually agreed to hear the case between Meucci and Bell, and the government was moving to annul the patent issued to Bell on the grounds of fraud and misrepresentation.

	Life in Italy: Antonio Meucci, the Inventor of the Telephone
		Meucci was devastated, but still persevered and in 1871 he borrowed twenty dollars in order ensure a patent caveat since he could no longer afford to register an official US patent.
		Even though Meucci beat both Gray and Bell by nearly five years, it was his inability to afford a full-fledged patent as well as his poor English that allowed his ideas to be at the least, neglected and at the worst, stolen.
		Meucci was now left without the funds ($20) to renew his caveat for 1874, his materials were most likely stolen, and he never even got to test his design.

		When Meucci's wife, Ester, became paralysed he rigged a system to link her bedroom with his neighbouring workshop and in 1860 held a public demonstration which was reported in New York's Italian-language press.
		Meucci could not afford the $250 needed for a definitive patent for his "talking telegraph" so in 1871 filed a one-year renewable notice of an impending patent.
		Meucci sued and was nearing victory - the supreme court agreed to hear the case and fraud charges were initiated against Bell - when the Florentine died in 1889.

		This figure shows that Meucci, holding in his left hand an instrument similar to that of the patient, was bending down to switch on the current, by manually connecting one end of the wire to one end of the battery.
		Meucci's second experiment in Havana was performed shortly after his first one and was mainly aimed at preventing the patient from undergoing a strong electrical shock.
		Meucci's experiments, both in Havana and Clifton, on the electrical transmission of the human voice, are basically substantiated by Meucci's own testimony at the Bell/Globe trial of 1885-1886 and by some fifty affidavits, sworn by various witnesses between 1880 and 1885.
