>> all right kayla, thank you, kayla taush s tausche. let's bring in the former chairman at wells fargo. thanks for joining us. e wanted your thoughts on this >> it's good to take look look at cra community groups and banking organizations like the america banker association and financial services roundtable and independent bankers association, getting these groups together, say, how can we make it better and more effective >> so this concern about redlining which is where banks wouldn't lend money to poor neighborhoods at the heart of the regulations and concerns people would have about rolling them back. how would you describe today's environment, like where does that fall in terms of it being a concern? are banks going to pull back is that funding going to dry up to those communities >> i really don't think so i don't think there's much redlining going on anymore i think what can concern communities is as you know, many banks are closing offices, particularly in rural areas. and there just may not be banking services there i don't think there's anybody who is -- any mainstream bank who is redlining anymore. we need to do more to help particularly low-income people get into homes we need to help small businesses, particularly minorities and women-owned businesses, who we can do a better job of that i just think we need to broaden our picture here and see if there are things that the community needs that we can improve and go beyond redlining, if you will. >> dick, as somebody who ran a large bank subject to this regulation for a long time, just give us an idea of exactly how it came to be incorporated in everything the bank had to do, in other words, the costs and the responsibilities attached to adhering to cra. how did it maybe disrupt your business or did it create any kind of opportunities as well to be in some areas >> i think if we look -- i think initially there was a lot of concern. and the concern was that the government wanted us to lend money to people who could never pay it back. and i think that concern has gone away, basically and i think most -- let's just say that for some reason cra was eliminated, i think most banks would continue to do what they're doing in the community we think it's good for our communities. we can't be successful as a bank if our communities aren't successful everyone in the community needs to be successful and you do have to do some extra things to make sure because there's, you know, obviously low-income people have issues that others don't. but you can still lend to those people and so i think that cra's been good for the industry and good for america and good for everyone i think it can be better i mean, 1977 is a big -- lots of changes since then and getting people together, all constituencies, is a good idea >> dick, one final question i just wanted to ask you about wells fargo, itself. there -- they've been underperforming, obviously they're trying to put the issues, many issues they've had behind them with tomorrow's earnings release if they don't, do you think that puts pressure on tim sloan in terms of him staying on top and leading this bank forward?
