FIRST BOSTON CORP as FEC employer text: $8.5 million

Contributors who listed FIRST BOSTON CORP on federal itemized receipts account for $8,479,481, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 17,129 contributions from 315 donors. FIRST BOSTON CORP is a historic firm spelling as stored, not a NAICS securities total, and not a Credit Suisse successor PAC. LEHMAN BROTHERS and SALOMON BROTHERS INC are sibling historic-broker rows. Unique-donor count is small relative to the dollar total.

Key figures

  • FIRST BOSTON CORP as FEC employer text totals $8,479,481 from 315 donors.
  • 17,129 contribution lines sit under that historic CORP spelling.
  • LEHMAN BROTHERS and SALOMON BROTHERS INC are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS securities sector or successor PAC.

A CORP abbreviation on a historic bank name

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. FIRST BOSTON CORP is the form committees stored when filers typed CORP rather than Credit Suisse First Boston or CSFB. The $8,479,481 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not a NAICS 5231 brokerage rollup, not successor PAC spending, and not underwriting volume.

People who typed CREDIT SUISSE, CSFB, INVESTMENT BANKER, or LEHMAN BROTHERS sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into FIRST BOSTON CORP. Alumni who still type the historic CORP spelling remain among the 315. The FEC field is not a current employment census.

315 donors and 17,129 lines

315 unique donors produced 17,129 FIRST BOSTON CORP contribution lines totaling $8,479,481. That is on the order of 54 itemized receipts per donor — high paperwork volume relative to the unique-donor set. Dollars concentrate among fewer named people than partnership-wide LLP rows in this ranking. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and successor PAC filings are outside the $8,479,481 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 17,129 lines are expected.

Lehman, Salomon, and Morgan Stanley stay separate

LEHMAN BROTHERS, SALOMON BROTHERS INC, MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC, and GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with FIRST BOSTON CORP would invent a historic-broker recode. This page stays at $8,479,481 for the CORP spelling only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm — managing director, banker, retired — as typed. BANKER as an industry key still holds people who put the title in the employer box instead of this company name.

Donor table without successor inference

The FIRST BOSTON CORP donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a later merger, a CSFB desk, or a motive to that line. Coverage spans the years those receipts were disclosed.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the CORP spelling. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

CSFB, Credit Suisse, and other historic brokers stay out

FIRST BOSTON CORP is not CREDIT SUISSE, not CSFB, and not LEHMAN BROTHERS or SALOMON BROTHERS INC. Those strings sit on other keys. The $8,479,481 total, 17,129 contribution lines, and 315 donors describe this CORP spelling only. MORGAN STANLEY & CO INC and GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY remain sibling firm-name rows. Unique-donor count is small relative to the dollar total.

Unitemized gifts, state races, successor PAC filings, and underwriting volume stay outside the $8,479,481. Occupation pages show titles beside FIRST BOSTON CORP. Alumni who still type the historic CORP form remain in the 315. The FEC field is not a current employment census and not NAICS 5231. Repeat names among 17,129 lines are expected at about 54 receipts per donor.

Researchers who want a historic-broker recode must list CREDIT SUISSE, CSFB, LEHMAN BROTHERS, and SALOMON BROTHERS INC as separate additions. The $8,479,481 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on FIRST BOSTON CORP as 315 donors and 17,129 lines. Repeat gifts explain the high line count relative to 315 people. Follow recipient committees on the FIRST BOSTON CORP donor table.

Questions

How much have FIRST BOSTON CORP-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $8,479,481 to the FIRST BOSTON CORP employer string, from 17,129 contributions and 315 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a successor-firm PAC and not a NAICS securities total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.
Is this Credit Suisse or CSFB corporate spending?
No. The $8,479,481 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to FIRST BOSTON CORP. Successor-firm PAC filings and later legal names are other stored strings when typed. The FEC field is not a current HR roster. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Does this include Lehman or Salomon employees?
No. LEHMAN BROTHERS and SALOMON BROTHERS INC are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text FIRST BOSTON CORP. Staff who typed only BANKER sit in that occupation-style row instead. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
Why so many contributions from 315 donors?
The 17,129 lines include repeat gifts from the same 315 people — on the order of 54 itemized receipts per donor. Recurring itemized programs raise the line count. The FEC field is transactional, not a once-per-employee census. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
