Subject: Opposition statement
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. We must do everything possible to curb predatory
lending practices and to guard low-income individuals' access to
financial institutions.
