Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
Dear Sirs and Madams,
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 serve low income communities in Santa Clara County, and this
proposal would reduce services to our clients.
