VIA FACSIMILE

Dear Tim:

Thanks so much for the opportunity to meet with you earlier this week in your Berks County District Office. PACB deeply appreciates the time you took from your busy schedule to discuss our issues of concern.

We look forward to continuing to work with you on community banking issues and we are appreciative that you are willing to consider cosponsoring the ICBA draft proposal we shared with you on tax credits and regulatory relief for community banks.

Please continue to consider PACB as a resource for you and your staff and we hope you can join us for baseball this summer. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Frank A. Pinto
President/CEO
