I strongly oppose the proposed rule changing the Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations to release banks from their
obligation to provide a portion of their loans in support of business
undertakings in poor rural areas of the U.S.
If we are to soon achieve effective biosecurity, as regards the
protection of our food supplies, rural communities must be rapidly
strengthened. Moreover, we need to help small farmers develop a
good capability for safe, local production of biosecure foods. Such
food production is needed to create secure food reserves in event
of any bioterrorist attack targeting our food supplies.
The FDIC attempt to eliminate much of the loan support for
small farmers and farm communities effectively acts to sabotage
critical biosecurity efforts ---and the FDIC is reportedly taking this
action as a favor to wealthy, politically powerful corporate farming
interests/ bankers. In view of your negative actions, I may have a
fiduciary responsibility to help protect national security interests
of the United States.
Under U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 105, Sections 2151
and 2156, it is illegal to interfere with national defense preparations,
and this includes homeland security and biosecurity preparations.
Your proposed changes, to CRA rules, appear to be a very clear and
specific violation of subject codes. I therefore ask that you provide
me with the name & address of your attorney if you proceed to make
these harmful changes. Thus, as necessary we can proceed to fully
litigate the legality of your changes to CRA rules. Please respond as
I have requested. Thank you.

P.S. I think it is shameful that the FDIC would endanger public safety
to obtain political or contribution support from corporate farms & bankers
during this year of national elections.
