PACB Letter to Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz

April 27, 2007

The Honorable Allyson Y. Schwartz
U.S. House of Representatives
Room 423 Cannon
Washington, DC 20515

VIA FACSIMILE

Dear Congresswoman Schwartz:

On behalf of the members and Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers, I am writing to thank you for your co-sponsorship of H.R. 698, the Industrial Bank Holding Company Act, following our meeting in your office earlier this week with Kirk Freeman of your staff.

We appreciate your support of community banking and always appreciate the open door you and your staff have to our issues and concerns. Maintaining the separation of banking and commerce and closing the ILC loophole is a top priority for PACB.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact PACB if we may be of any assistance to you or your staff.

Sincerely,

Frank A. Pinto
President/CEO
