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. It is vitally important to low-income communities that banks in the
$250 million to $1 billion range continue to have every incentive
(including the full CRA exam) to maintain lending, investments and
services in those communities.
