Subject: FDIC Regs- Community Reinvestment Act
To Whom it May Concern,
I oppose the FDIC's proposal to allow banks with assets above $250
million to be examined as small banks under the Community Reinvestment
Act. This policy would reduce lending, investments and services in
low-income communities. I feel that small banks provide essential
services in terms of both lending practices and community involvment in
poor and blighted areas. While many of these banks do this of their own
volition, it is important to maintain the institutional mandate to
continue these practices.
