Re: Preserving the Community Reinvestment Act
Mr. Robert E. Feldman
Executive Secretary
Attention: Comments/Legal ESS

Dear Mr. Feldman:
The Community Reinvestment Act has provided banks with an important incentive
to work with CDFIs and provide vitally needed capital to struggling communities.
I urge you to withdraw the FDIC’s rule proposal that would allow
midsize banks to pursue only one of the three important community development
activities they are now required to undertake: lending, investment, and
services. I believe that this rule would result in a substantial reduction
in support for the essential work of CDFIs, resulting in fewer jobs,
fewer affordable homes, and fewer community services.
Respectfully,
Connie Hannigan
