Upper semicontinuous function as a poinwise limit of continuous fuctions
$begingroup$
The encyclopedia of mathematics claims, without proof, that an upper semicontinuous function on a completely regular topological space X is the pointwise limit of a decreasing sequence of continuous functions. I was able to find the proof (Bourbaki, General Topology, part II) only for the case when X is perfectly normal. Is the general statement above true, and if it is where can I find a proof?
