Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50

October 20, 2004

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.

Sincerely,

Katie O'Connell
