 Subject: Oppose Efforts to Weaken CRA RIN number 3064-AC50
 Artivio Guerrero5864 55th Street
 Sacramento, CA 95824
 September 19, 2004  Dear Federal Deposit Insurance Commission:  Despite the successes of community development locally and 
        nationally, the banks and thrift institutions that provided the loans, 
        services, and investments to build new homes, businesses, and community 
        facilities may no longer have the impetus to do so if the FDIC raises 
        the comprehensive CRA exam threshold.  I agree with the National Congress for Community Economic Development 
        that this proposed change would have a devastating effect on affordable 
        housing and community development investment throughout the nation, 
        particularly in rural areas.  President Bushes comments promoting an "Ownership Society" are truly 
        disingenuous if the actions of officials he appointed are undermining 
        proven laws that revitalize communities, increase minority 
        homeownership, and increase small business ownership for women and 
        minorities.  Please rescind your proposal.  Sincerely,Artivio Guerrero
