Subject: CRA - Community Reinvestment Act -
To Whom It May Concern:
The following quote from the New York Times actually gives you an
idea of my feelings on what you are proposing do do.
You are not acting in the best interest of the people of the United
States, please change your regulations to be fair, don't undermine the
CRA. Don't let Americans down like this, during these difficult and
changing times we live in.
People are watching what you are doing and how you did it and it was
not done with honesty.
L. W. Eckman, Redding, CT 06896
Banks should not be allowed to jettison community reinvestment
responsibilities ... in the quest for profit. If these new regulations
are allowed to stand ... Communities could eventually find themselves
back in the dark ages of redlining and financial isolation. New York
