Dear Sirs,
I strongly oppose the FDIC's proposal to allow large banks with assets above
$250 million to have a lesser, limited review and examination as do the
smaller banks under CRA. This policy would reduce lending, investments and
services in low-income communities. This would be a reversal of all the
good work that has been done in the past years. This is not the time change
these requirements for larger banks as it will effect those least able to
access this type of lending and other services.
