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. CRA has been successful in overcoming opposition to fair, just,
responsible investment in minority and low income communities. The
proposed policy would reduce lending, investments and services in
this communities.
