Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
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. The YWCAs mission is to provide economic
empowerment for women and eliminate racism. Such a proposal would do
serious damage to our ability to continue our good work. Thank you.
