Abstract: Let $ I$ be a proper nonnilpotent ideal in a local (Noetherian) ring $ (R,M)$ and let $ J$ be a reduction of $ I$; that is, $ J$ $ \subseteq$ $ I$ and $ JI^n$ $ =$ $ I^{n+1}$ for some nonnegative integer $ n$. We prove that there exists a finite free local unramified extension ring $ S$ of $ R$ such that the ideal $ IS$ has a minimal reduction $ K$ $ \subseteq$ $ JS$ with the property that the number of elements in a minimal generating set of $ K$ is equal to the analytic spread of $ K$ and thus also equal to the analytic spread of $ I$.
