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. We cannot afford to lose the valuable gains made in
low income
communities that small lenders provide.
