Heading: Appellant's written statement.

Text: Appellant contends that her written statement, dated April 15, 1976, and submitted to a Division investigator on April 16, 1976, should have been excluded under NRS 48.105, [6] as a statement made in compromise negotiations. Appellant's contention is based upon her assertion, by affidavit submitted to the district court, that her statement was made in connection with her desire for an expeditious and less harsh resolution of the charges against her. The statement itself is an unqualified assertion of facts. There is no suggestion that it did not represent appellant's true belief as to the facts. Hiram Ricker & Sons v. Students Inter. Meditation Soc., 501 F.2d 550, 553 (1st Cir.1974). In the circumstances, the statement was properly viewed as an admission, and was properly admitted as such. Id.; see also City Bank of Honolulu v. Rivera Davila, 438 F.2d 1367 (1st Cir.1971); 4 Wigmore, Evidence § 1061, at 41-42 (Chadbourn rev. 1972).
