                                       Supplement dated July 1, 2002 to the
                            Statement of Additional Information dated January 28, 2002


The Statement of Additional Information is changed as follows:

1.       The supplement dated April 30, 2002 is hereby withdrawn.

2.     The biographical  information for John S. Kowalik,  Leslie Falconio and Gina Palmieri as it currently  appears
       on pages 23 and 24 is deleted and replaced with the following:

         Angelo Manioudakis, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, Age: 35.
         498 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10018
         Senior Vice  President  of the Manager  (since  April  2002);  an officer and  portfolio  manager of other
         Oppenheimer funds;  formerly Executive Director and portfolio manager for Miller,  Anderson & Sherrerd,  a
         division of Morgan Stanley Investment Management (August 1993-April 2002).

3.       The section titled "Distribution and Service Plans - Class A Service Plan" on page 31 is revised by
       adding the following to the end of the first paragraph:

         With  respect to  purchases of Class A shares  subject to a  contingent  deferred  sales charge by
         certain  retirement  plans  that  purchased  such  shares  prior to March 1, 2001  ("grandfathered
         retirement  accounts"),  the Distributor currently intends to pay the service fee to Recipients in
         advance  for the first  year  after the shares  are  purchased.  After the first  year  shares are
         outstanding,  the  Distributor  makes  service  fee  payments  to  Recipients  quarterly  on those
         shares.  The advance  payment is based on the net asset  value of shares  sold.  Shares  purchased
         by exchange do not qualify for the advance  service fee  payment.  If Class A shares  purchased by
         grandfathered  retirement  accounts are redeemed during the first year after their  purchase,  the
         Recipient of the service fees on those  shares will be  obligated to repay the  Distributor  a pro
         rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

4.     The Appendix titled "Industry Classifications" is deleted and replaced with the following:
