Subject: Re: Community Reinvestment 12 CFR Part 345
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.
Truly,
Michael Pareles
