Key figures
- First Boston Corp × 2008 is $719,438 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 412 contributions from 95 donors.
- 2008 is about 8.5% of the grouping’s $8,479,481 all-cycle total.

- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Legacy employer spelling × 2008
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — First Boston Corp and 2008 — sum to $719,438. 412 itemized contributions and 95 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the First Boston Corp hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. First Boston Corp as stored employer text in 2008 holds 412 lines from 95 donors. Successor Credit Suisse labels keep their own cycle pages. This join does not recode alumni into a later legal name. CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, CSFB, FIRST BOSTON, and CREDIT SUISSE are other keys if stored separately.
8.5% of the First Boston Corp roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,479,481 ($8.48 million). The 2008 slice of $719,438 is about 8.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.5% ($7,760,043). Treating 2008 as the First Boston Corp FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $8,479,481 as the denominator for the 8.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $8,479,481.

- Should successor or longer spellings be added to this 2008 total?
