Salomon advised Chrysler to set the premium at $5 and to add 10.20 as a "tail" to make sure there was no tie, making the total bid $21.602 per share. Then at 4:20, just ten minutes ahead of a deadline set by the Treasury, a Salomon agent dropped the bid into a slot in the northwest conference room on the tenth floor...
