2008 filtered to Salomon Brothers Inc
Apply the Salomon Brothers Inc filter to the 2008 election cycle and the remaining money is $417,578. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 298 contributions and 75 donors. The overlay at the cycle path lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.
Salomon Brothers Inc is investment-bank employer text. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 75 unique donors matched the stored string in 2008. Repeat gifts can raise 298 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.
The all-cycle Salomon Brothers Inc total of $10,263,508 still includes other windows. Citing $10,263,508 as if it were 2008 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2008 hub as if it were Salomon Brothers Inc-only would overstate the year.
4.1% in 2008, 95.9% elsewhere
4.1% of stored Salomon Brothers Inc money is tagged 2008 ($417,578). 95.9% is not ($9,845,930). Both percentages use $10,263,508 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.
The industry hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2008 so $10,263,508 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Lifetime Salomon Brothers Inc storage is $10,263,508. Subtract the 2008 cell and $9,845,930 remains. That remainder is 95.9% of the grouping. 4.1% is the 2008 share. Both percentages use packet facts only.
Itemized count versus unique donors
Contribution count (298) and donor count (75) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $417,578 is their dollar sum.
If a searcher wants names, the overlay is the next stop. This JSON file reports 75 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract. Contributor identities (75) are not a headcount of a firm or a profession. Repeat itemized gifts explain 298 lines from fewer identities. About 4.0 lines per donor is the mean on this packet.
Dropping the Salomon Brothers Inc filter
Dropping the Salomon Brothers Inc filter returns the reader to the 2008 election cycle index. That index is not $417,578. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 298 contributions, 75 donors, $417,578.
No cycle-wide denominator is in the packet, so Salomon Brothers Inc cannot be ranked as a percent of 2008 national itemized giving. 4.1% remains a share of $10,263,508 only. Open the 2008 election cycle to see every grouping that year. This file does not copy that list. Salomon Brothers Inc remains one cell: $417,578, 298 contributions, 75 donors.
Self-reported fields and missing tables
Missing from the packet: recipient names, party split, unitemized totals, PAC disbursements, and any USAspending figure. Present: $417,578, 298 contributions, 75 donors, $10,263,508 lifetime, cycle 2008, string SALOMON BROTHERS INC.
Self-reported fields create split spellings. Researchers who need a firm-level view must inspect neighboring keys on the industry index rather than assume $10,263,508 is complete for a legal entity. Federal award files can reuse famous names. Those files are not FEC itemized individual contributions. This join does not claim that $417,578 funded contracts or grants.

Carry forward $417,578, 298, 75, 4.1%, $10,263,508, and the string SALOMON BROTHERS INC. Leave behind invented recipients, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle.
$1,401 per contribution and $5,568 per donor are derived means. Label them as such. Investment-bank employer text remains the right description of the grouping. If live hubs disagree with $417,578, the overlay and FEC.gov control. This snapshot recorded 298 contributions and 75 donors for SALOMON BROTHERS INC in 2008. Restating the join without new numbers: Salomon Brothers Inc in 2008 is $417,578 from 298 itemized individual contributions and 75 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $10,263,508 across cycles, so 2008 is about 4.1% and other windows hold $9,845,930 (95.9%). The grouping is investment-bank employer text, not Citigroup as a successor label, a broker PAC, or Salomon as a corporate treasury. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $1,401; mean per donor about $5,568; about 4.0 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2008 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $417,578.
