Subject: SPAM::Community Reinvestment 12 CFR Part 345

I strongly oppose the FDIC's proposal to allow banks with assets above $250 million to be examined as small banks under the Community Reinvestment Act. The policy would dramatically reduce lending, investments and service in low-income communities and families.
