Re: Preserving the Community Reinvestment Act Mr. Robert E. Feldman Executive Secretary Attn: Public Comment/Legal ESS Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 550 17th Street NW Washington, DC 20429 Dear Mr. Feldman: The Community Reinvestment Act has provided banks with an important incentive to work with CDFIs. I urge you to withdraw the FDIC’s rule proposal that would allow midsize banks to pursue only one of the three community development activities they are now required to undertake. I believe that this rule would result in fewer jobs, fewer affordable homes, and fewer community services. Sincerely, William Lana 1355 Bailey Ave Eugene, OR 97402William Lana
