PAINE WEBBER as FEC employer text: $6.3 million

A retired wirehouse name that still groups

Filers keep typing names they used on older W-2s and business cards. PAINE WEBBER is one of those strings. LobbyVault ranks the grouped text; it does not merge it into a successor firm. The $6,279,163 total is itemized individual gifts whose employer field grouped here. It is not UBS’s current PAC.

People who typed PAINEWEBBER as one word, UBS PAINEWEBBER, SMITH BARNEY, MERRILL LYNCH, or BROKER without a firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode merger history into a single wirehouse key.

Brokers who moved to a successor firm and kept typing PAINE WEBBER stay in these 457 donors on those receipts. Brokers who updated the employer box leave the key. LobbyVault records the text, not the career path.

457 donors and 16,515 receipts

457 unique donors produced 16,515 PAINE WEBBER contribution lines totaling $6,279,163. That is on the order of 36 itemized receipts per donor. Alumni who still type the pre-merger name share the string with anyone whose receipt carried the same letters. The packet does not publish a mean gift or an active-versus-retired split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings in a successor firm’s name are outside the $6,279,163 unless the individual receipt itself lists PAINE WEBBER. Unitemized gifts never appear.

16,515 lines totaling $6,279,163 are itemized federal individual receipts only. Successor PAC documents and unitemized gifts stay out.

Smith Barney, Merrill, and title rows

SMITH BARNEY, MERRILL LYNCH, MORGAN STANLEY, GOLDMAN SACHS, and SALOMON BROTHERS are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with PAINE WEBBER would mix distinct FEC fields. This page reports $6,279,163 for PAINE WEBBER only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm. BROKER, BANKER, and INVESTMENT BANKER exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box.

GOLDMAN SACHS and SALOMON BROTHERS are additional house keys outside PAINE WEBBER. This page reports $6,279,163 from 457 donors and 16,515 lines for the legacy Paine Webber spelling only.

Donor table

The PAINE WEBBER donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a trade, an SEC matter, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a FINRA roster.

Repeat names are expected among 16,515 lines from 457 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the legacy broker string.

PAINE WEBBER on the table is legacy letterhead. 16,515 lines from 457 donors totaling $6,279,163 are not a UBS current-staff list. SMITH BARNEY and MERRILL LYNCH remain other house keys. BROKER as a title is a different page. Alumni who still type PAINE WEBBER remain in the 457.
