Subject: Community Reinvestment -- RIN 3064-AC50
I strongly urge the FDIC not to amend the CRA to exclude those financial
institutions below $1B. As a resident of Washington, DC, a state
that has
no financial institutions over this threshhold, I feel that my community
would be adversely affected by this change. In addition, my home
state of
West Virginia will feel adverse effects for years.
For decades, the CRA has provided an incentive for neighborhood
revitalization, the strengthening of families, and economic development
to
all parts of our nation. The change you propose will seriously undermine
these efforts and I strongly urge you to reject the proposed language.
Thank you,
Brad Keller
