Book Description

Excerpt from President Clinton's Community Reinvestment Act Reform Initiative and Enforcement of Federal Fair Lending Laws: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Consumer Credit and Insurance of the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session; October 21, 1993 I would like to ask a cou 1e of folks in the back if you would not mind closing the doors in t e back of the room so we can keep the racket down a little bit, please. This morning the subcommittee holds an important hearing on the enforcement of the Community Reinvestment Act and the fair lending laws. These laws have been on the books for close to two decades or more, yet as well intended and well written as the are, discrimination and disinvestment continue to be an ongoing act of life in communities across the country. These twin wrongs have caused a tragic loss of hope in affected communities and represent a daily embarrassment to our Nation.
