TIMES
A national emergency exists by reason of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.That declared state of emergency has continued in full force and effect from 9/11 to the present. President Bush kept it in place, and President Obama has also.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I hereby declare that the national emergency has existed since September 11, 2001 . . .

The committee's decision must be also ratified by a full Senate chamber vote, which is planned to be held later in the month.The head of the committee, Dario Stefano, said the committee had "decided by a majority to propose to the Senate assembly to debate invalidating the election of Senator Berlusconi."
