Dear Mr. Feldman:

RE: The Community Reinvestment Act

I am very concerned to hear of the FDIC’s rule proposal that would require midsize banks to pursue only one of the three important community development activities they are now required to undertake. Such action would surely result in the loss of jobs, homes and essential community services. Please make the only ethical choice and withdraw the FDIC’s rule proposal.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. D. Hartz Dr. D. Hartz
