Let XRnn be an irreducible nonsingular algebraic set and let Z be an algebraic subset of X with dim Z ≦ dim X — 2. In this paper it is shown that there exists an irreducible algebraic subset Y of X satisfying the following conditions: dim Y = dim X — 1, ZY and that the ideal of regular functions on X vanishing on Y is principal.
