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

Washington, DC 20429

Dear Mr. Feldman:

As a socially responsible investor, I am aware of the vital role played by CDFIs in revitalizing communities through affordable housing and small business startups. 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 significantly reduce support for the essential work of CDFIs, resulting in fewer jobs, fewer affordable homes, and fewer community services.

Yours Sincerely,

David Sarr 7401 Forrester Lane Manassas VirginiaDavid Sarr
