Some extracts from: http://www.eslcafe.com/grammar/adjective_clauses03.html
"1. Reductions: Clauses with BE When a subject-pattern adjective clause contains BE, the relative pronoun and BE can often* be omitted: The woman who is talking to Janet is her sister. ---> The woman talking to Janet is her sister. 2. Rephrasing: Clauses with HAVE When an adjective clause contains HAVE (meaning "own," "possess," or "is characterized by"), another kind of change is possible: Do you know anyone who has change for a dollar? ---> Do you know anyone *with* change for a dollar? 3. Rephrasing: Clauses with HAVE When adjective clauses contain BE wearing, BE wearing can be changed to in: The woman who is wearing the green silk suit isa doctor. --> The woman *in* the green silk suit is a doctor."
