Is a statement given to a police officer of a foreign country excludable because the Miranda warning is not given?

7 Statements given to police officers of a foreign country are not excludable because Miranda warnings are not given. United States v. Chavarria, 443 F.2d 904, 905 (9th Cir.1971).

8 Two of our cases add the probative/prejudicial balancing as a requirement of the analysis under Rule 404(b), United States v. Sneezer, 983 F.2d 920, 924 (9th Cir.1992) and United States v. Ross, 886 F.2d 264, 267 (9th Cir.1989), cert. denied, 494 U.S. 1083, 110 S.Ct. 1818, 108 L.Ed.2d 947 (1990). It is clear from examining the authority relied on by these two cases, however, that the probative/prejudicial balancing is rooted in Rule 403 and is separate from the Rule 404(b) inquiry.
