Abstract: For

W

a Coxeter group, let

m a t h c a l W = w i n W; |; w = x y; m b o x w h e r e; x, y i n W; m b o x a n d; x^{2} = 1 = y^{2}

. If

W

is finite, then it is well known that

W = m a t h c a l W

. Suppose that

w i n m a t h c a l W

. Then the minimum value of

e l l (x) + e l l (y) - e l l (w)

, where

x, y i n W

with

w = x y

and

x^{2} = 1 = y^{2}

, is called the extit{excess} of

w

(

e l l

is the length function of

W

). The main result established here is that

w

is always

W

-conjugate to an element with excess equal to zero.
