Re: Preserving the Community Reinvestment Act Mr. Robert E. Feldman Executive Secretary Attention: Comments/Legal ESS Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 550 17th Street NW Washington, DC 20429 Dear Mr. Feldman: I am opposed to the proposal that would allow state-chartered banks to avoid investing in community development financial institutions (CDFIs). I believe that CDFIs play an important role, so I urge you to withdraw this proposal that would undermine the Community Reinvestment Act. Sincerely, Sam Simkin Ithaca, NY 14850Sam Simkin
