Tesla set out into the brave new world. landing a Job with Thomas Edison. making $18 a week. But he soon became frustrated. and left Edisons laboratory to start his own in 1887. Four years later. on July 30. 1891. he became a U.S. citizen. I would note. Mr. Speaker. that while Tesla thought little of honorary degrees and certificates. filing them away in drawers. he always kept his naturalization certificate In a safe. His citizenship. Tesla always asserted. was more important than any honors his scientific abilities could garner. He rightfully can claim his place alongside the likes of Franklin.
