Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50

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. Having worked in these communities for more than 10 years, I know that banking services are direly needed and CRA examination is a critical part of ensuring that banks provide these services.

Sincerely,

Bill Pitkin
