ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks as high a level of
current interest income exempt from federal and California income taxes for
individual investors as is consistent with preservation of capital.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests mainly in California
municipal securities that pay interest exempt from federal and California
individual income taxes. These primarily include municipal bonds (which are
long-term obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations), and
interests in municipal leases. Most of the securities the Fund buys must be
"investment grade" (the four highest rating categories of national rating
organizations, such as Moody's).

      The Fund does not limit its investments to securities of a particular
maturity range, and may hold both short- and long-term securities. However,
it currently focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. These
investments are more fully explained in "About the Fund's Investments,"
below.

HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In
selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers look primarily
throughout California for municipal securities using a variety of factors
which may change over time and may vary in particular cases. The portfolio
managers currently look for:
o     Securities that provide high current income
o     A wide range of securities of different issuers within the state,
               including different agencies and municipalities, to spread risk
o     Securities having favorable credit characteristics
o     Special situations that provide opportunities for value.

      The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if one or more
of these factors no longer apply to a security purchased for the Fund.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for individual investors
who are seeking income exempt from federal and California income taxes. The
Fund does not seek capital gains or growth. Because it invests in tax-exempt
securities, the Fund is not appropriate for retirement plan accounts or for
investors seeking capital growth. The Fund is not a complete investment
program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund


All investments have risks to some degree. The Fund's investments are subject
to changes in their value from a number of factors, described below. There is
also the risk that poor security selection by the OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
"Manager"), will cause the Fund to underperform other funds having a similar
objective. The share prices of the Fund will change daily based on changes in
market prices of securities and market conditions and in response to other
economic events.


SPECIAL RISKS OF INVESTING PRIMARILY IN CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL SECURITIES.
Because the Fund focuses its investments primarily on California municipal
securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive
to events affecting the fiscal stability of the State of California and its
municipalities, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue
securities. These risks are disclosed more detail in the Fund's Statement of
Additional Information.


CREDIT RISK. Municipal securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is
the risk that the issuer of a municipal security might not make interest and
principal payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to
pay interest, the Fund's income may be reduced. If the issuer fails to repay
principal, the value of that security and of the Fund's shares may be
reduced. Because the Fund can invest as much as 25% of its assets in
municipal securities below investment grade to seek higher income, the Fund's
credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade
bonds. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about
an issuer can reduce the value of that issuer's securities.
Special Credit Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Municipal securities that are

      rated below investment grade (these are sometimes called "junk bonds")
      may be subject to greater price fluctuations and risks of loss of
      income and principal than investment-grade municipal securities.
      Securities that are (or that have fallen) below investment grade have a
      greater risk that the issuers might not meet their debt obligations.


INTEREST RATE RISKS. Municipal securities are debt securities that are
subject to changes in value when prevailing interest rates change. When
prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already issued municipal
securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of
already issued municipal securities generally fall, and the bonds may sell at
a discount from their face amount. The magnitude of these price changes is
generally greater for bonds with longer maturities. The Fund currently
focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income. Therefore, its share
prices may fluctuate more when interest rates change.

Tobacco Settlement Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest a significant portion
of its assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue
bonds are secured by an issuing state's proportionate share in the Master
Settlement Agreement ("MSA"). The MSA is an agreement, reached out of court
in November 1998 between 46 states and nearly all the U.S. tobacco
manufacturers (approximately 99% of the current combined market share of
tobacco manufacturers). The MSA provides for payments annually by the
manufacturers to the states and jurisdictions in perpetuity, in exchange for
releasing all claims against the manufacturers and a pledge of no further
litigation. Tobacco manufacturers pay into a master escrow trust based on
their market share, and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment
as set forth in the MSA.

A number of states have securitized the future flow of those payments by
selling bonds pursuant to indentures, some through distinct governmental
entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue
flow that is used for principal and interest payments on the bonds. Annual
payments on the bonds, and thus risk to the Fund, are highly dependent on the
receipt of future settlement payments to the state or its governmental
entity, as well as several other factors. The actual amount of future
settlement payments, therefore, is dependent on many factors, including, but
not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption,
inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As
a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be negatively impacted
if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the
forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA companies to non-MSA
participating tobacco manufacturers would also cause a downward adjustment in
the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also
could cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been
subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The
Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about
the Fund's investments in tobacco settlement revenue bonds.

Borrowing for Leverage.  The Fund can borrow from banks to purchase
additional securities, a technique referred to as "leverage" in amounts up to
one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all
liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowings. It may also borrow up to
5% of its total assets for temporary purposes from any person. This use of
leverage will subject the Fund to greater costs than funds that do not borrow
for leverage and may also make the Fund's share price more sensitive to
interest rate changes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that
might reduce the Fund's yield.


RISKS OF NON-DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund is "non-diversified." That means that
compared to funds that are diversified, it can invest a greater portion of
its assets in the securities of one issuer, such as bonds issued by the state
of California. Having a higher percentage of its assets invested in the
securities of fewer issuers, particularly obligations of government issuers
of one state, could result in greater fluctuations of the Fund's share prices
due to economic, regulatory or political problems in California.

RISKS IN USING DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. The Fund can use derivatives to seek
increased returns or to try to hedge investment risks. In general terms, a
derivative investment is an investment contract whose value depends on (or is
derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index.
Options, futures, "inverse floaters" and variable rate obligations are
examples of derivatives.

      If the issuer of the derivative investment does not pay the amount due,
the Fund can lose money on its investment. Also, the underlying security or
investment on which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, may
not perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, the
Fund will get less income than expected or its share price could decline. To
try to preserve capital, the Fund has limits on the amount of particular
types of derivatives it can hold.

Inverse Floaters Have Special Risks. Certain variable rate bonds known as
      "inverse floaters" pay interest rates that move in the opposite
      direction of yields on short-term bonds in response to market changes.
      As interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income,
      and their market value can become volatile. Inverse floaters are a type
      of "derivative security." Some have a "cap," so that if interest rates
      rise above the "cap," the security pays additional interest income. If
      rates do not rise above the "cap," the Fund will have paid an
      additional amount for a feature that proves worthless. The Fund cannot
      invest more than 20% of its total assets in inverse floaters.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form
the overall risk profile of the Fund and can affect the value of the Fund's
investments, its investment performance, and the prices of its shares.
Particular investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks
mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you redeem your
shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is
no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. In the
OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is more conservative than some types of
taxable bond funds, such as high yield bond funds, but has greater risk than
money market funds.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank, and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's Past Performance


The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in
the Fund, by showing changes in the Fund's performance (for its Class A
shares) from year to year for the last 10 calendar years and by showing how
the average annual total returns of the Fund's shares, both before and after
taxes, compared to those of a broad-based market index. The after-tax returns
for the other classes of shares will vary.


      The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income
tax rates in effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact
of state or local taxes. In certain cases, the figure representing "Return
After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the
other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results
when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and translates into an assumed tax
deduction that benefits the shareholder. The after-tax returns are calculated
based on certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your actual after-tax
returns may differ from those shown, depending on your individual tax
situation. The Fund's past investment performance, before and after taxes, is
not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.


Annual Total Returns (Class A) (as of December 31 each year)
[See appendix to prospectus for data in bar chart showing the annual total
return]


Sales charges and taxes are not included in the  calculations  of return in
this bar chart,  and if those charges and taxes were included,  the returns
may be less than those shown.


For the period from 1/1/05  through  6/30/05,  the  cumulative  return (not
annualized) before taxes for Class A shares was 8.78%.

During the period shown in the bar chart,  the highest return (not annualized)
before  taxes for a  calendar  quarter  was 8.65%  (1st Qtr 95) and the lowest
return (not  annualized)  before taxes for a calendar  quarter was -4.41% (2nd
Qtr 04).

(1)                     From 12/31/92.


The Fund's average annual total returns include  applicable  sales charges:
for Class A, the current maximum  initial sales charge of 4.75%;  for Class
B, the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year);
and for Class C, the 1%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge for the 1-year
period.  Because  Class B shares  convert to Class A shares 72 months after
purchase,  Class B "10 Years"  performance  does not include any contingent
deferred  sales  charge and uses Class A  performance  for the period after
conversion.  The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical  account
and assume that all  dividends and capital  gains  distributions  have been
reinvested  in additional  shares.  The  performance  of the Fund's Class A
shares is compared to Lehman  Bothers  Municipal  Bond Index,  an unmanaged
index  of a broad  range  of  investment-grade  municipal  bonds  that is a
measure  of the  general  municipal  bond  market.  The  index  performance
includes  reinvestment  of income but does not reflect  transaction  costs,
fees,  expenses  or taxes.  The Fund's  investments  vary from those in the
index.


Fees and Expenses of the Fund


The following tables are meant to help you understand the fees and expenses
you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund pays a variety
of expenses directly for management of its assets, administration,
distribution of its shares and other services. Those expenses are subtracted
from the Fund's assets to calculate the Fund's net asset values per share.
All shareholders therefore pay those expenses indirectly. Shareholders pay
other expenses directly, such as sales charges and account transaction
charges. The numbers below are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal
year ended July 31, 2005.

Expenses may vary in future years.  "Other  Expenses"  include  transfer agent
fees,  custodial  fees,  and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays.
The "Other  Expenses" in the table are based on, among other things,  the fees
the Fund  would  have paid if the  transfer  agent had not waived a portion of
its fees  under a  voluntary  undertaking  to the Fund to limit  those fees to
0.35% of  average  daily net  assets per  fiscal  year for all  classes.  That
undertaking  may be amended or withdrawn at any time. The "Other  Expenses" in
the table represent the expenses  incurred during the prior fiscal year due to
the expense  limitation  described  above not being  exceeded.  Pursuant to an
undertaking  by the Manager to reduce the Fund's  management fee (described in
the   Statement  of  Additional   Information   under   "Investment   Advisory
Agreement"),  the actual "Management Fees" were ____% for each class of shares
and "Total  Annual  Operating  Expenses" as  percentages  of average daily net
assets were ____% for Class A shares,  _____% for Class B shares and ____% for
Class C shares. That undertaking is no longer in effect.
1.    A  contingent   deferred  sales  charge  may  apply  to  redemptions  of

   investments  of $1  million  or more of  Class A  shares.  See  "How to Buy
   Shares" for details.
2.    Applies to  redemptions  in first year after  purchase.  The  contingent
   deferred  sales  charge  gradually  declines  from  5% to 1% in  years  one
   through six and is eliminated after that.
3.    Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

EXAMPLES. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of
investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The
examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for
the time periods indicated, and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

      The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end
of those periods. The second example assumes you keep your shares. Both
examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that
the class's operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be
higher or lower because expenses will vary over time. Based on these
assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 In the first example,  expenses  include the initial sales charge for Class A
 and the applicable Class B and Class C contingent  deferred sales charges. In
 the second example,  the Class A expenses include the sales charge, but Class
 B and Class C expenses do not include contingent deferred sales charges.
 1.  Class B  expenses  for years 7 through  10 are based on Class A  expenses
 since Class B shares automatically  convert to Class A shares 72 months after
 purchase.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS. The allocation of the
Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time
based on the Manager's evaluation of economic and market trends. The Fund's
portfolio might not always include all of the different types of investments
described below. Under normal market conditions, the Fund:
o     attempts to invest 100% of its assets in municipal securities,
o     as a fundamental policy, invests at least 80% of its assets in
         municipal securities, and
o     as a fundamental policy, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus
         borrowings for investment purposes) in California municipal
         securities.

      Securities that generate income subject to alternative minimum tax
(AMT) will count towards the 80% California municipal securities requirement.

      The Manager tries to reduce risks by selecting a wide variety of
municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are
purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal
securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share
prices of the Fund will change daily based on changes in interest rates and
market conditions and in response to other economic events. The Statement of
Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Fund's
investment policies and risks.


What is A Municipal Security?  A municipal security is essentially a loan by
the buyer to the issuer of the security.  The issuer promises to pay back the
principal amount of the loan and normally pays interest exempt from federal
personal income taxes.


MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, certificates
of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations.

      The Fund mainly invests in California municipal securities, which are
municipal securities that are not subject (in the opinion of bond counsel to
the issuer at the time they are issued) to California individual income tax.
These debt obligations are issued by the state of California and its
political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and
authorities). The term "California municipal securities" may also include
debt securities of the governments of certain possessions, territories and
commonwealths of the United States if the interest is not subject to
California individual income tax.

      The Fund can also buy other municipal securities issued by the
governments of the District of Columbia and of other states as well as their
political subdivisions, authorities and agencies, and securities issued by
any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the United States, or their
respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid
on the security is not subject to federal individual income tax (in the
opinion of bond counsel to the issuer at the time the security is issued).


      Under highly unusual circumstances, the Internal Revenue Service may
determine that a municipal bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be
taxable. If the Fund held such a bond, it might have to distribute taxable
income or reclassify as taxable income previously distributed as tax-free.


      Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public
or private purposes, including financing state or local governments,
financing specific projects or financing public facilities. The Fund can buy
both long-term and short-term municipal securities. Long-term securities have
a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term
securities, to seek higher income.


      The Fund can buy municipal securities that are "general obligations,"
secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for
the payment of principal and interest. The Fund can also buy "revenue
obligations," payable only from the revenues derived from a particular
facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue
source such as, e.g., tobacco revenue settlement bonds. Some revenue
obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax
preference item for investors subject to alternative minimum tax.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal leases are used by state and local

      governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities.
      The Fund can invest in certificates of participation that represent a
      proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease
      obligations. Most municipal leases, while secured by the leased
      property, are not general obligations of the issuing municipality. They
      often contain "non-appropriation" clauses under which the municipal
      government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in
      future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis. If the
      government stops making payments or transfers its payment obligations
      to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable.
Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. Most of the municipal
      securities the Fund buys are "investment grade" at the time of
      purchase. The Fund does not invest more than 25% of its total assets in
      municipal securities that are not "investment grade" at the time of
      purchase. "Investment grade" securities are those rated within the four
      highest rating categories of Moody's, Standard & Poor's, Fitch or
      another nationally recognized rating organization, or (if unrated)
      judged by the Manager to be comparable to rated investment grade
      securities. Rating categories are described in the Statement of
      Additional Information. A reduction in the rating of a security after
      the Fund buys it will not automatically require the Fund to dispose of
      that security. However, the Manager will evaluate those securities to
      determine whether to keep them in the Fund's portfolio.

      The Manager may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally
      recognized rating agencies in evaluating the credit risk of securities
      selected for the Fund's portfolio. It may also use its own research and
      analysis. Many factors affect an issuer's ability to make timely
      payments, and the credit risks of a particular security may change over
      time.

CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund's Board of
Trustees can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval,
although significant changes will be described in amendments to this
Prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval of a
majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. The Fund's investment
objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are
fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information.
An investment policy or technique is not fundamental unless this Prospectus
or the Statement of Additional Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. To seek its objective, the Fund can use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Manager might not
always use all of them. These techniques have risks, although some of them
are designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have
      variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at
      stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are automatically adjusted
      according to a specified market rate for such investments, such as the
      percentage of the prime rate of a bank, or the 91-day U.S. Treasury
      Bill rate.
Other Derivatives. The Fund can also invest in other derivative securities
      that pay interest that depend on the change in value of an underlying
      asset, interest rate or index. Examples are interest rate swaps,
      municipal bond indices or swap indices.
Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options,
      or enter into interest rate swap agreements. These are all referred to
      as "hedging instruments." The Fund does not use hedging instruments for
      speculative purposes, and has limits on the use of them. The Fund does
      not use hedging instruments to a substantial degree and is not required
      to use them in seeking its objective.

      Hedging involves risk. If the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the
      wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could
      reduce the Fund's return. The Fund could also experience losses if the
      prices of its futures and options positions were not correlated with
      its other investments or if it could not close out a position because
      of an illiquid market for the future or option.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase
      municipal securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell
      such securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. Between the purchase and
      settlement, no payment is made for the security and no interest accrues
      to the buyer from the investment. There is a risk of loss to the Fund
      if the value of the security declines prior to the settlement date.
Puts and Stand-By Commitments. The Fund can acquire "stand-by commitments" or
      "puts" with respect to municipal securities. The Fund obtains the right
      to sell specified securities at a set price on demand to the issuing
      broker-dealer or bank. However, this feature may result in a lower
      interest rate on the security. The Fund acquires stand-by commitments
      or puts solely to enhance portfolio liquidity.
Illiquid Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an
      active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of
      them promptly at an acceptable price. The Fund will not invest more
      than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. The Manager monitors
      holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine
      whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity. The Fund
      cannot buy securities that have a restriction on resale.
Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable or adverse
      market, political or economic conditions, the Fund can invest up to
      100% of its total assets in temporary investments that are inconsistent
      with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, they would
      be short-term municipal securities but could be U.S. Government
      securities or highly-rated corporate debt securities. The income from
      some temporary defensive investments may not be tax-exempt, and
      therefore when making those investments the Fund might not achieve its
      objective. The Fund can also hold cash and cash equivalents pending the
      investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or portfolio
      securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares.


PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS. The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual
      and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of the Fund
      within 60 days after the close of the period for which such report is
      being made. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its
      Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are filed with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") no later than 60 days after
      the close of its first and third fiscal quarters. These required
      filings are publicly available at the SEC. Therefore, portfolio
      holdings of the Fund are made publicly available no later than 60 days
      after the close of each of the Fund's fiscal quarters.

      A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the
      disclosure of the Fund's portfolio securities is available in the
      Fund's Statement of Additional Information.


How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager chooses the Fund's investments and handles its
day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the
policies established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, under an investment
advisory agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement
sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that
the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business.


      The Manager has been an investment adviser since January 1960. The
Manager and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $180
billion in assets as of June 30, 2005, including other Oppenheimer funds with
more than 7 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at Two World
Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10281-1008.

Advisory Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the
      Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate which declines as the Fund's
      assets grow: 0.60% of the first $200 million of average annual net
      assets, 0.55% of the next $100 million, 0.50% of the next $200 million,
      0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $250 million, and
      0.35% of average annual net assets over $1 billion. The Manager has
      voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its management fee so that the
      "Management Fees" will not exceed 0.55% of average annual net assets
      for each class of shares. This voluntary undertaking is expected to
      remain in effect indefinitely. However, it may be amended or withdrawn
      by the Manager at any time. The Fund's management fee for its last
      fiscal year ended July 31, 2005, was 0.55% of average annual net assets
      for each class of shares, as a result of this undertaking.

      A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of
the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual
Report to shareholders for the year ended July 31, 2005.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by a team of investment
     professionals, including Ronald H. Fielding, Daniel G. Loughran, Scott
     Cottier and Troy Willis, who are primarily responsible for the
     day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

     Mr. Fielding has been a Senior Portfolio Manager of the Fund since
     January 2002.  Mr. Fielding has been a Senior Vice President of the
     Manager since January 1996 and Chairman of the Rochester Division of the
     Manager since January 1996.  He is an officer of other funds in the
     OppenheimerFunds complex.  Mr. Fielding is the team leader and lead
     manager and a trader for the Fund.

     Mr. Loughran has been a Portfolio Manager of the Fund since April 2001.
     Mr. Loughran has been a Vice President of the Manager since April 2001
     and has been a portfolio manager with the Manager since 1999.  He is a
     portfolio manager of other funds in the OppenheimerFunds complex.  Mr.
     Loughran is both a senior portfolio manager and a trader for the Fund.

     Mr. Cottier has been a Portfolio Manager of the Fund since 2002.  Mr.
     Cottier has been a Vice President of the Manager since 2002.  Prior to
     joining the Manager in 2002, Mr. Cottier was a portfolio manager and
     trader at Victory Capital Management from 1999 to 2002.  He is a
     portfolio manager of other funds in the OppenheimerFunds complex.  Mr.
     Cottier is both a portfolio manager and a trader for the Fund.

     Mr. Willis has been an Associate Portfolio Manager of both the Fund and
     the Manager since 2003. Prior to joining the Manager in 2003, Mr. Willis
     was a Corporate Attorney for Southern Resource Group from 1999 to 2003.
     He is an associate portfolio manager of other funds in the
     OppenheimerFunds complex. Mr. Willis is both an associate portfolio
     manager and a trader for the Fund.

Additional information about the Fund's Portfolio Management Team, regarding
compensation, other accounts managed and their ownership of Fund shares, is
provided in the Statement of Additional Information.

PENDING LITIGATION.  A consolidated amended complaint has been filed as
putative derivative and class actions against the Manager, Distributor and
Transfer Agent, as well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively the
"funds") including the Fund, 30 present and former Directors or Trustees and
8 present and former officers of certain of the funds. This complaint,
initially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New
York on January 10, 2005 and amended on March 4, 2005, consolidates into a
single action and amends six individual previously-filed putative derivative
and class action complaints. Like those prior complaints, the complaint
alleges that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other
costs, improperly used assets of the funds in the form of directed brokerage
commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of the funds, and
failed to properly disclose the use of fund assets to make those payments in
violation of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act of
1940. Also, like those prior complaints, the complaint further alleges that
by permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees
and the officers breached their fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders under
the Investment Company Act and at common law.  The complaint seeks
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the funds'
investment advisory agreements, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award
of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

      The defendants believe the claims asserted in these law suits to be
without merit, and intend to defend the suits vigorously. The Manager and the
Distributor do not believe that the pending actions are likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to perform their
respective investment advisory or distribution agreements with the Fund.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares

You can buy shares several ways, as described below. The Fund's Distributor,
OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., may appoint servicing agents to accept
purchase (and redemption) orders. The Distributor, in its sole discretion,
may reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares.
Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer,
      broker or financial institution that has a sales agreement with the
      Distributor. Your dealer will place your order with the Distributor on
      your behalf. A broker or dealer may charge for that service.
Buying Shares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds New
      Account Application and return it with a check payable to
      "OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver,
      Colorado 80217. If you don't list a dealer on the application, the
      Distributor will act as your agent in buying the shares. Class B or
      Class C shares may not be purchased by an investor directly from the
      Distributor without the investor designating another broker-dealer.
      However, we recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial
      advisor before you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is
      appropriate for you.
o     Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor
      may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum investment is
      $2,500. Before sending a wire, call the Distributor's Wire Department
      at 1.800.225.5677 to notify the Distributor of the wire and to receive
      further instructions.
o     Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. With AccountLink,
      you pay for shares by electronic funds transfers from your bank
      account. Shares are purchased for your account by a transfer of money
      from your bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH)
      system. You can provide those instructions automatically, under an
      Asset Builder Plan, described below, or by telephone instructions using
      OppenheimerFunds PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to
      "AccountLink," below for more details.
o     Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of
      the Fund automatically each month from your account at a bank or other
      financial institution under an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink.
      Details are in the Asset Builder Application and the Statement of
      Additional Information.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund
shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $50. There are reduced minimums
available under the following special investment plans:
o     By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are
      in the Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment
      plan, you can make subsequent investments (after making the initial
      investment of $500) for as little as $50. For any type of account
      established under one of these plans prior to November 1, 2002, the
      minimum additional investment will remain $25.
o     The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting
      dividends from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list of them
      appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your
      dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting distributions from
      unit investment trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price which
is the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies.
The offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next
calculation of the net asset value per share that is made after the
Distributor receives the purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after
any agent appointed by the Distributor receives the order.

Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
      shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), on
      each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus
      as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m.,
      Eastern time, but may close earlier on some days. All references to
      time in this Prospectus mean "Eastern time."

            The net asset value per share for a class of shares on a "regular
      business day" is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net
      assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of that class
      outstanding on that day. To determine net asset values, the Fund assets
      are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. If
      market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately
      reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's judgment) or if a
      security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after
      the close of the exchange or market on which the security is
      principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that
      the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects the fair value.

            The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has
      delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations
      to the Manager's Valuation Committee.  Fair value determinations by the
      Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board
      at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.
       In determining whether current market prices are readily available and
      reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the
      ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities for
      significant events that it believes in good faith will affect the
      market prices of the securities of issuers held by the Fund.  Those may
      include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in
      trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the
      trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a
      foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster).


            If, after the close of the principal market on which a security
      held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's
      net asset values are calculated that day, a significant event occurs
      that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment
      will cause a material change in the value of that security from the
      closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is
      traded, the Manager will use its best judgment to determine a fair
      value for that security.

            The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be
      affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets on a trading day
      after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair
      valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign
      securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into
      account.


The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in
      most cases the Distributor or its designated agent must receive your
      order by the time the NYSE closes that day. If your order is received
      on a day when the NYSE is closed or after it has closed, the order will
      receive the next offering price that is determined after your order is
      received.
Buying Through a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must
      receive the order by the close of the NYSE  and transmit it to the
      Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's close of
      business on a regular business day (normally 5:00 p.m.) to receive that
      day's offering price, unless your dealer has made alternative
      arrangements with the Distributor. Otherwise, the order will receive
      the next offering price that is determined.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund offers investors three
different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent
investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject
to different expenses and will likely have different share prices. When you
buy shares, be sure to specify the class of shares. If you do not choose a
class, your investment will be made in Class A shares.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge
      (on investments up to $1 million). The amount of that sales charge will
      vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are
      listed in "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent
      deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares,
      as described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described
      in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? Once you decide that the Fund is an
appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which class of shares is
best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should
discuss with your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much
you plan to invest and how long you plan to hold your investment. If your
goals and objectives change over time and you plan to purchase additional
shares, you should re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider
another class of shares. The Fund's operating costs that apply to a class of
shares and the effect of the different types of sales charges on your
investment will vary your investment results over time.

      The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a
recommendation, because each investor's financial considerations are
different. The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class
of shares and not a combination of shares of different classes. Of course,
these examples are based on approximations of the effects of current sales
charges and expenses projected over time, and do not detail all of the
considerations in selecting a class of shares. You should analyze your
options carefully with your financial advisor before making that choice.

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial needs
      cannot be predicted with certainty, knowing how long you expect to hold
      your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class of
      shares. Because of the effect of class-based expenses, your choice will
      also depend on how much you plan to invest. For example, the reduced
      sales charges available for larger purchases of Class A shares may,
      over time, offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your
      investment, compared to the effect over time of higher class-based
      expenses on shares of Class B or Class C.
   o  Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a
      long-term investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment
      horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six
      years), you should most likely invest in Class A or Class C shares
      rather than Class B shares. That is because of the effect of the Class
      B contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem within six years, as
      well as the effect of the Class B asset-based sales charge on the
      investment return for that class in the short-term. Class C shares
      might be the appropriate choice (especially for investments of less
      than $100,000), because there is no initial sales charge on Class C
      shares, and the contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to
      amounts you sell after holding them one year.

      However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term,
      then as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C
      shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because
      the annual asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a
      greater impact on your account over the longer term than the reduced
      front-end sales charge available for larger purchases of Class A
      shares.


      If you invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will be
      the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold
      your shares. The Distributor will not accept purchase orders of
      $100,000 or more for Class B shares or $1 million or more of Class C
      shares from a single investor.  Dealers or other financial
      intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in omnibus
      accounts are responsible for compliance with those limits.

o     Investing for the Longer Term.  If you are investing  less than $100,000
      for the  longer-term,  for example for retirement,  and do not expect to
      need  access to your money for seven  years or more,  Class B shares may
      be appropriate.
Are There  Differences  in Account  Features  That Matter to You? Some account
      features  may not be  available  to  Class B and  Class C  shareholders.
      Other  features  may not be  advisable  (because  of the  effect  of the
      contingent  deferred sales charge) for Class B and Class C shareholders.
      Therefore,  you  should  carefully  review  how  you  plan  to use  your
      investment account before deciding which class of shares to buy.

      Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B and Class C shareholders
      will be reduced by the additional expenses borne by those classes that
      are not borne by Class A shares, such as the Class B and Class C
      asset-based sales charge described below and in the Statement of
      Additional Information. Also, checkwriting is not available on accounts
      subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Broker? A financial advisor may
      receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than for
      selling another class. It is important to remember that Class B and
      Class C contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales charges
      have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of Class A
      shares: to compensate the Distributor for concessions and expenses it
      pays to dealers and financial institutions for selling shares. The
      Distributor may pay additional compensation from its own resources to
      securities dealers or financial institutions based upon the value of
      shares of the Fund owned by the dealer or financial institution for its
      own account or for its customers.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering
price, which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge.
However, in some cases, described below, purchases are not subject to an
initial sales charge, and the offering price will be the net asset value. In
other cases, reduced sales charges may be available, as described below or in
the Statement of Additional Information. Out of the amount you invest, the
Fund receives the net asset value to invest for your account.

      The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A
portion of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or allocated
to your dealer as concession. The Distributor reserves the right to reallow
the entire concession to dealers. The current sales charge rates and
concessions paid to dealers and brokers are as follows:







 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Amount of Purchase       Front-End Sales  Front-End Sales   Concession As
                                           Charge As a

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information details the conditions for the waiver of sales charges
that apply in certain cases and the special sales charge rates that apply to
purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or in other special types
of transactions. To receive a waiver or special sales charge rate, you must
advise the Distributor when purchasing shares or the Transfer Agent when
redeeming shares that a special condition applies.
Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You and your spouse may be eligible to
      buy Class A shares of the Fund at reduced sales charge rates set forth
      in the table above under the Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a
      "Letter of Intent." The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease
      offering these programs at any time.

o     Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge
         that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making
         (as shown in the table above), you can add the value of any Class A,
         Class B or, Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds
         that you or your spouse currently own, or are currently purchasing,
         to the value of your Class A share purchase. Your Class A shares of
         Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on
         which you have not paid a sales charge will not be counted for this
         purpose.  In totaling your holdings, you may count shares held in
         your individual accounts (including IRAs and 403(b) plans), your
         joint accounts with your spouse, or accounts you or your spouse hold
         as trustees or custodians on behalf of your children who are minors.
         A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or
         other fiduciary account that has multiple accounts (including
         employee benefit plans for the same employer).  If you are buying
         shares directly from the Fund, you must inform the Distributor of
         your eligibility and holdings at the time of your purchase in order
         to qualify for the Right of Accumulation. If you are buying shares
         through your financial intermediary you must notify your
         intermediary of your eligibility for the Right of Accumulation at
         the time of your purchase.

            To count shares of eligible Oppenheimer funds held in accounts at
         other intermediaries under this Right of Accumulation, you may be
         requested to provide the Distributor or your current intermediary
         with a copy of all account statements showing your current holdings
         of the Fund or other eligible Oppenheimer funds, including
         statements for accounts held by you and your spouse or in retirement
         plans or trust or custodial accounts for minor children as described
         above. The Distributor or intermediary through which you are buying
         shares will calculate the value of your eligible Oppenheimer fund
         shares, based on the current offering price, to determine which
         Class A sales charge rate you qualify for on your current purchase.

o     Letters of Intent. You may also qualify for reduced Class A sales
         charges by submitting a Letter of Intent to the Distributor. A
         Letter of Intent is a written statement of your intention to
         purchase a specified value of Class A, Class B or Class C shares of
         the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds over a 13-month period. The
         total amount of your intended purchases of Class A, Class B and
         Class C shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate that
         will apply to your Class A share purchases of the Fund during that
         period. You can choose to include purchases made up to 90 days
         before the date that you submit a Letter. Your Class A shares of
         Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which
         you have not paid a sales charge will not be counted for this
         purpose. Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to
         purchase the specified amount of shares.  You may also be able to
         apply the Right of Accumulation to these purchases.

            If you do not complete the Letter of Intent, the front-end sales
         charge you paid on your purchases will be recalculated to reflect
         the actual value of shares you purchased.  A certain portion of your
         shares will be held in escrow by the Fund's Transfer Agent for this
         purpose. Please refer to "How to Buy Shares - Letters of Intent" in
         the Fund's Statement of Additional Information for more complete
         information.


Other Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers. The Fund and the
Distributor offer other opportunities to purchase shares without
front-end or contingent deferred sales charges under the programs
described below. The Fund reserves the right to amend or discontinue
these programs at any time without prior notice.

o     Dividend Reinvestment.  Dividends and/or capital gains distributions
         received by a shareholder from the Fund may be reinvested in
         shares of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds
         without a sales charge, at the net asset value per share in
         effect on the payable date. You must notify the Transfer Agent
         in writing to elect this option and must have an existing
         account in the fund selected for reinvestment.
o     Exchanges of Shares.  Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of
         certain other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share
         at the time of exchange, without sales charge, and shares of
         the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of certain
         other Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. Please refer to
         "How to Exchange Shares" in this Prospectus and in the
         Statement of Additional Information for more details,
         including a discussion of circumstances in which sales charges
         may apply on exchanges.
o     Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption of certain
         Class A and Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in
         Class A shares of the Fund without sales charge. This
         privilege applies to redemptions of Class A shares that were
         subject to an initial sales charge or Class A or Class B
         shares that were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
         when redeemed. The investor must ask the Transfer Agent for
         that privilege at the time of reinvestment and must identify
         the account from which the redemption was made.
o     Other Special Reductions and Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor
         offer additional arrangements to reduce or eliminate front-end
         sales charges or to waive contingent deferred sales charges
         for certain types of transactions and for certain classes of
         investors (primarily retirement plans that purchase shares in
         special programs through the Distributor). These are described
         in greater detail in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional
         Information, which may be ordered by calling 800.225.5677 or
         through the OppenheimerFunds website, at
         www.oppenheimerfunds.com (follow the hyperlinks: "Access
         ------------------------
         Accounts and Services" - "Forms & Literature" - "Order
         Literature" - "Statements of Additional Information"). A
         description of these waivers and special sales charge
         arrangements is also available for viewing on the
         OppenheimerFunds website (follow the hyperlinks: "Research
         Funds" - "Fund Documents" - "View a description . . ."). To
         receive a waiver or special sales charge rate under these
         programs, the purchaser must notify the Distributor (or other
         financial intermediary through which shares are being
         purchased) at the time of purchase, or notify the Transfer
         Agent at the time of redeeming shares for those waivers that
         apply to contingent deferred sales charges.


Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on
      purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds
      aggregating $1 million or more. The Distributor pays dealers of record
      concessions in an amount equal to 0.50% of purchases of $1 million or
      more (other than purchases by retirement plans, which are not permitted
      in the Fund). That concession will not be paid on purchases of shares
      by exchange or that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge
      and dealer concession.

      If you redeem any of those shares within an 18 month "holding period"
      measured from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a
      contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent
      deferred sales charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds.
      That sales charge will be equal to 1.0% of the lesser of:
o     the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of
         redemption (excluding shares purchased by reinvestment of dividends
         or capital gain distributions); or
o     the original net asset value of the redeemed shares.

      The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the
      aggregate amount of the concessions the Distributor paid to your dealer
      on all purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds you made
      that were subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge.


HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES? Class B shares are sold at net asset value
per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class B shares are
redeemed within six years from the beginning of the calendar month of their
purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the
redemption proceeds. The Class B contingent deferred sales charge is paid to
compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related
services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

      The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the
number of years since you invested and the dollar amount being redeemed,
according to the following schedule for the Class B contingent deferred sales
charge holding period:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Since Beginning of Month in       Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Which Purchase Order was Accepted       Redemptions in That Year (As % of
                                        Amount Subject to Charge)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1                                   5.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2                                   4.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - 3                                   3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4                                   3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5                                   2.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - 6                                   1.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than 6                             None
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period. In applying the contingent
deferred sales charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the
first regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert
      to Class A shares 72 months after you purchase them. This conversion
      feature relieves Class B shareholders of the asset-based sales charge
      that applies to Class B shares under the Class B Distribution and
      Service Plan, described below. The conversion is based on the relative
      net asset value of the two classes, and no sales load or other charge
      is imposed. When any Class B shares that you hold convert, any other
      Class B shares that were acquired by reinvesting dividends and
      distributions on the converted shares will also convert to Class A
      shares. For further information on the conversion feature and its tax
      implications, see "Class B Conversion" in the Statement of Additional
      Information.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS C SHARES? Class C shares are sold at net asset value
per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are
redeemed within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the
calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%
will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The Class C contingent
deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the Distributor for its expenses
of providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the
sale of Class C shares.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for
      Class A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its
      costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A
      shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to
      0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund.
      The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers,
      brokers, banks and other financial institutions quarterly for providing
      personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
      hold Class A shares.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C Shares. The Fund has
      adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares
      to pay the Distributor for its services and costs in distributing Class
      B and Class C shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund
      pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per
      year on Class B shares and on Class C shares. The Distributor also
      receives a service fee of up to 0.25% per year under each plan.

      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
      Class C expenses by 1.00% of the net assets per year of the respective
      class. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an
      ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
      investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

      The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for
      providing personal services for accounts that hold Class B or Class C
      shares. The Distributor normally pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers
      in advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the dealer.
      After the shares have been held for a year, the Distributor pays the
      service fees to dealers on a quarterly basis.

      The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the
      purchase price of Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at
      the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
      amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
      Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The
      Distributor normally retains the Class B asset-based sales charge. See
      the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the
      purchase price of Class C shares to dealers from its own resources at
      the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
      amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
      Class C shares is therefore 1.00% of the purchase price. The
      Distributor pays the asset-based sales charge as an ongoing concession
      to the dealer on Class C shares that have been outstanding for a year
      or more. The Distributor normally retains the Class C asset-based sales
      charge during the first year after Class C shares are purchased. See
      the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      Under certain circumstances, the Distributor will pay the full Class B
      or Class C asset-based sales charge and the service fee to the dealer
      beginning in the first year after purchase of such shares in lieu of
      paying the dealer the sales concession and the advance of the first
      year's service fee at the time of purchase, if there is a special
      agreement between the dealer and the Distributor. In those
      circumstances, the sales concession will not be paid to the dealer.

      In addition, the Manager and the Distributor may make substantial
      payments to dealers or other financial intermediaries and service
      providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities, out
      of their own resources, including the profits from the advisory fees
      the Manager receives from the Fund. Some of these distribution-related
      payments may be made to dealers or financial intermediaries for
      marketing, promotional or related expenses; these payments are often
      referred to as "revenue sharing." In some circumstances, those types of
      payments may create an incentive for a dealer or financial intermediary
      or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or
      other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. You should ask your dealer or
      financial intermediary for more details about any such payments it
      receives.

Special Investor Services

ACCOUNTLINK. You can use our AccountLink feature to link your Fund account

      the PhoneLink number and the Fund will send the proceeds directly to
      your AccountLink bank account. Please refer to "How to Sell Shares,"
      below for details.

CAN YOU SUBMIT TRANSACTION REQUESTS BY FAX? You may send requests for certain
types of account transactions to the Transfer Agent by fax (telecopier).
Please call 1.800.225.5677 for information about which transactions may be
handled this way. Transaction requests submitted by fax are subject to the
same rules and restrictions as written and telephone requests described in
this Prospectus.

OPPENHEIMERFUNDS INTERNET WEBSITE. You can obtain information about the Fund,
as well as your account balance, on the OppenheimerFunds Internet website, at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Additionally, shareholders listed in the account
------------------------
registration (and the dealer of record) may request certain account
transactions through a special section of that website. To perform account
transactions or obtain account information online, you must first obtain a
user I.D. and password on that website. If you do not want to have Internet
account transaction capability for your account, please call the Transfer
Agent at 1.800.225.5677. At times, the website may be inaccessible or its
transaction features may be unavailable.

AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL AND EXCHANGE PLANS. The Fund has several plans that
enable you to sell shares automatically or exchange them to another
OppenheimerFunds account on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent
or consult the Statement of Additional Information for details.

How to Sell Shares


You can sell (redeem) some or all of your shares on any regular business day.
Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value calculated after your
order is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with the
procedures described below) and is accepted by the Transfer Agent. The Fund
lets you sell your shares by writing a letter, by wire, by using the Fund's
checkwriting privilege, or by telephone. You can also set up Automatic
Withdrawal Plans to redeem shares on a regular basis. If you have questions
about any of these procedures, and especially if you are redeeming shares in
a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner, please call the
Transfer Agent first, at 1.800.225.5677, for assistance.


Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund
      from fraud, the following redemption requests must be in writing and
      must include a signature guarantee (although there may be other
      situations that also require a signature guarantee):
   o  You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check.
   o  The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the
      account statement.
   o  The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your
      account statement.
   o  Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner
      or name.
   o  Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than
      the owners.
Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept
      a guarantee of your signature by a number of financial institutions,
      including:
o     a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o     a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o     a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities
      or government securities, or
o     a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities
      association or a clearing agency.
      If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other
business or as a fiduciary, you must also include your title in the signature.


Receiving Redemption Proceeds by Wire. While the Fund normally sends your
      money by check, you can arrange to have the proceeds of shares you sell
      sent by Federal Funds wire to a bank account you designate. It must be
      a commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system.
      The minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500. There is a
      $10 fee for each request. To find out how to set up this feature on
      your account or to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at
      1.800.225.5677.


CHECKWRITING. To write checks against your Fund account, request that
privilege on your account application, or contact the Transfer Agent for
signature cards. They must be signed (with a signature guarantee) by all
owners of the account and returned to the Transfer Agent so that checks can
be sent to you to use. Shareholders with joint accounts can elect in writing
to have checks paid over the signature of one owner. If you previously signed
a signature card to establish checkwriting in another Oppenheimer fund,
simply call 1.800.225.5677 to request checkwriting for an account in this
Fund with the same registration as the other account.

o     Checks can be written to the order of whomever you wish, but may not be
      cashed at the bank the checks are payable through or the Fund's
      custodian bank.
o     Checkwriting privileges are not available for accounts holding shares
      that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
o     Checks must be written for at least $500. Checks written below the
      stated amount on the check will not be accepted. However, if you have
      existing checks indicating a $100 minimum, you may still use them for
      amounts of $100 or more.
o     Checks cannot be paid if they are written for more than your account
      value. Remember, your shares fluctuate in value and you should not
      write a check close to the total account value.
o     You may not write a check that would require the Fund to redeem shares
      that were purchased by check or Asset Builder Plan payments within the
      prior 10 days.
o     Don't use your checks if you changed your Fund account number, until
      you receive new checks.

HOW DO YOU SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction that includes:
   o  Your name,
   o  The Fund's name,
   o  Your Fund account number (from your account statement),
   o  The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed,
   o  Any special payment instructions,
   o  Any share certificates for the shares you are selling,
   o  The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is
      registered, and
   o  Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure proper
      authorization of the person asking to sell the shares.

Use the following address for            Send courier or express mail
requests by mail:                        requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services                OppenheimerFunds Services
P.O. Box 5270                            10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver, Colorado 80217                   Denver, Colorado 80231


HOW DO YOU SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of
record may also sell your shares by telephone. To receive the redemption
price calculated on a particular regular business day, your call must be
received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the NYSE that day, which is
normally 4:00 p.m., but may be earlier on some days. You may not redeem
shares under a share certificate by telephone.

   o  To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on
      PhoneLink, call 1.800.225.5677.

      Whichever method you use, you may have a check sent to the address on
the account statement, or, if you have linked your Fund account to your bank
account on AccountLink, you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?
Telephone Redemptions Paid by Check. Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by
      telephone in any seven-day period. The check must be payable to all
      owners of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the
      account statement. This service is not available within 30 days of
      changing the address on an account.

Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink or by Wire. There are no dollar
      limits on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account
      designated when you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to
      your bank is initiated on the business day after the redemption. You do
      not receive dividends on the proceeds of the shares you redeemed while
      they are waiting to be transferred.

      If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account,
      the wire of the redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the
      next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. There is a
      possibility that the wire may be delayed up to seven days to enable the
      Fund to sell securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends
      are accrued or paid on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed
      and are awaiting transmittal by wire.


CAN YOU SELL SHARES THROUGH YOUR DEALER? The Distributor has made
arrangements to repurchase Fund shares from dealers and brokers on behalf of
their customers. Brokers or dealers may charge for that service. If your
shares are held in the name of your dealer, you must redeem them through your
dealer.

HOW CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT REDEMPTIONS. If you purchase
shares subject to a Class A, Class B or Class C contingent deferred sales
charge and redeem any of those shares during the applicable holding period
for the class of shares, the contingent deferred sales charge will be
deducted from the redemption proceeds (unless you are eligible for a waiver
of that sales charge based on the categories listed in Appendix C to the
Statement of Additional Information and you advise the Transfer Agent of your
eligibility for the waiver when you place your redemption request.)

      A  contingent  deferred  sales charge will be based on the lesser of the
net  asset  value of the  redeemed  shares  at the time of  redemption  or the
original net asset value.  A contingent  deferred  sales charge is not imposed
on:
o     the amount of your  account  value  represented  by an  increase  in net
      asset value over the initial purchase price,
o     shares  purchased by the  reinvestment  of  dividends  or capital  gains
      distributions, or
o     shares redeemed in the special circumstances  described in Appendix C to
      the Statement of Additional Information.

      To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:
   1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
      distributions,
   2. shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and
   3. shares held the longest during the holding period.

      Contingent deferred sales charges are not charged when you exchange
shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you
exchange them within the applicable contingent deferred sales charge holding
period, the holding period will carry over to the fund whose shares you
acquire. Similarly, if you acquire shares of this Fund by exchanging shares
of another Oppenheimer fund that are still subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge holding period, that holding period will carry over to this Fund.

How to Exchange Shares


If you want to change all or part of your investment from one Oppenheimer
fund to another, you can exchange your shares for shares of the same class of
another Oppenheimer fund that offers the exchange privilege. For example, you
can exchange Class A shares of the Fund only for Class A shares of another
fund. To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:


   o  Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in
      your state of residence.

   o  The prospectus of  the selected fund must offer the exchange privilege.
   o  When you establish an account, you must hold the shares you buy for at
      least seven days before you can exchange them. After your account is
      open for seven days, you can exchange shares on any regular business
      day, subject to the limitations described below.
   o  You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the selected fund.
   o  Generally, exchanges may be made only between identically registered
      accounts, unless all account owners send written exchange instructions
      with a signature guarantee.
   o  Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain its prospectus and
      should read it carefully.

      For tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund is considered a
sale of those shares and a purchase of the shares of the fund into which you
are exchanging. An exchange may result in a capital gain or loss.

      You  can  find a list  of  the  Oppenheimer  funds  that  are  currently
      available for exchanges in the  Statement of Additional  Information  or
      you  can  obtain  a  list  by  calling  a  service   representative   at
      1.800.225.5677.  The funds  available  for exchange can change from time
      to time.

      A  contingent  deferred  sales  charge  (CDSC) is not  charged  when you
      exchange  shares of the Fund for  shares of  another  Oppenheimer  fund.
      However,  if you exchange your shares during the applicable CDSC holding
      period,  the holding  period will carry over to the fund shares that you
      acquire.  Similarly,  if you acquire  shares of the Fund in exchange for
      shares of another  Oppenheimer  fund that are subject to a CDSC  holding
      period,  that holding  period will carry over to the acquired  shares of
      the Fund.  In either of these  situations,  a CDSC may be imposed if the
      acquired  shares are redeemed  before the end of the CDSC holding period
      that applied to the exchanged shares.

      There are a number of other special conditions and limitations that
      apply to certain types of exchanges. These conditions and circumstances
      are described in detail in the "How to Exchange Shares" section in the
      Statement of Additional Information.

HOW DO YOU SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing,
by telephone or internet, or by establishing an Automatic Exchange Plan.

Written Exchange Requests. Send a request letter, signed by all owners of the
      account, to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover.
      Exchanges of shares for which share certificates have been issued
      cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the certificates
      with the request letter.
Telephone Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either
      by calling a service representative or by using PhoneLink by calling
      1.800.225.5677. You may submit internet exchange requests on the
      OppenheimerFunds internet website, at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. You
                                            ------------------------
      must have obtained a user I.D. and password to make transactions on
      that website. Telephone and/or internet exchanges may be made only
      between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address.
      Shares for which share certificates have been issued may not be
      exchanged by telephone or the internet.

Automatic Exchange Plan. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to
      exchange a pre-determined amount of shares automatically on a monthly,
      quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional
Information for more details.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON FREQUENT PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES?

Risks from Excessive Purchase, Redemption and Short-Term Exchange Activity.
The OppenheimerFunds exchange privilege affords investors the ability to
switch their investments among Oppenheimer funds if their investment needs
change. However, there are limits on that privilege. Frequent purchases,
redemptions and exchanges of fund shares may interfere with the Manager's
ability to manage the fund's investments efficiently, increase the fund's
transaction and administrative costs and/or affect the fund's performance,
depending on various factors, such as the size of the fund, the nature of its
investments, the amount of fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in
cash or cash equivalents, the aggregate dollar amount and the number and
frequency of trades. If large dollar amounts are involved in exchange and/or
redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio
securities at unfavorable times to meet redemption or exchange requests, and
the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased.

Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board of Trustees have adopted the
following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or
excessive exchanges, and/or purchase and redemption activity, while balancing
the needs of investors who seek liquidity from their investment and the
ability to exchange shares as investment needs change. There is no guarantee
that the policies and procedures described below will be sufficient to
identify and deter excessive short-term trading.

o     Timing of Exchanges.  Exchanged shares are normally redeemed from one
         fund and the proceeds are reinvested in the fund selected for
         exchange on the same regular business day on which the Transfer
         Agent or its agent (such as a financial intermediary holding the
         investor's shares in an "omnibus" or "street name" account) receives
         an exchange request that conforms to these policies. The request
         must be received by the close of the NYSE that day, which is
         normally 4:00 p.m., but may be earlier on some days, in order to
         receive that day's net asset value on the exchanged shares. Exchange
         requests received after the close of the NYSE will receive the next
         net asset value calculated after the request is received. However,
         the Transfer Agent may delay transmitting the proceeds from an
         exchange for up to five business days if it determines, in its
         discretion, that an earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds
         to the receiving fund would be detrimental to either the fund from
         which the exchange is being made or the fund into which the exchange
         is being made. The proceeds will be invested in the fund into which
         the exchange is being made at the next net asset value calculated
         after the proceeds are received. In the event that such a delay in
         the reinvestment of proceeds occurs, the Transfer Agent will notify
         you or your financial representative.

o     Limits on Disruptive Activity. The Transfer Agent may, in its
         discretion, limit or terminate trading activity by any person, group
         or account  that it believes would be disruptive, even if the
         activity has not exceeded the policy outlined in this Prospectus.
         The Transfer Agent may review and consider the history of frequent
         trading activity in all accounts in the Oppenheimer funds known to
         be under common ownership or control as part of the Transfer Agent's
         procedures to detect and deter excessive trading activity.

o     Exchanges of Client Accounts by Financial Advisers.  The Fund and the
      Transfer Agent permit dealers and financial intermediaries to submit
      exchange requests on behalf of their customers (unless the customer has
      revoked that authority). The Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent have
      agreements with a number of financial intermediaries that permit them
      to submit exchange orders in bulk on behalf of their clients. Those
      intermediaries are required to follow the exchange policies stated in
      this Prospectus and to comply with additional, more stringent
      restrictions. Those additional restrictions include limitations on the
      funds available for exchanges, the requirement to give advance notice
      of exchanges to the Transfer Agent, and limits on the amount of client
      assets that may be invested in a particular fund. A fund or the
      Transfer Agent may limit or refuse bulk exchange requests submitted by
      such financial intermediaries if, in the Transfer Agent's judgment,
      exercised in its discretion, the exchanges would be disruptive to any
      of the funds involved in the transaction.

o     Redemptions of Shares.  These exchange policy limits do not apply to
      redemptions of shares. Shareholders are permitted to redeem their
      shares on any regular business day, subject to the terms of this
      Prospectus.

o     Right to Refuse Exchange and Purchase Orders.  The Distributor and/or
      the Transfer Agent may refuse any purchase or exchange order in their
      discretion and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an
      order. The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege
      at any time. You will receive 60 days' notice of any material change in
      the exchange privilege unless applicable law allows otherwise.

o     Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges.  The Transfer Agent
      may send a written warning to direct shareholders that the Transfer
      Agent believes may be engaging in excessive purchases, redemptions
      and/or exchange activity and reserves the right to suspend or terminate
      the ability to purchase shares and/or exchange privileges for any
      account that the Transfer Agent determines, in carrying out these
      policies and in the exercise of its discretion, has engaged in
      disruptive or excessive trading activity, with or without such warning.

o     Omnibus Accounts.  If you hold your shares of the Fund through a
      financial intermediary such as a broker-dealer, a bank, an insurance
      company separate account, an investment adviser, an administrator or
      trustee of a retirement plan or 529 plan, that holds your shares in an
      account under its name (these are sometimes referred to as "omnibus" or
      "street name" accounts), that financial intermediary may impose its own
      restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term or excessive
      trading. You should consult your financial intermediary to find out
      what trading restrictions, including limitations on exchanges, they may
      apply.

While the Fund, the Distributor, the Manager and the Transfer Agent encourage
financial intermediaries to apply the Fund's policies to their customers who
invest indirectly in the Fund, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect
excessive short term trading activity facilitated by, or in accounts
maintained in, the "omnibus" or "street name" accounts of a financial
intermediary. Therefore the Transfer Agent might not be able to apply this
policy to accounts such as (a) accounts held in omnibus form in the name of a
broker-dealer or other financial institution, or (b) omnibus accounts held in
the name of a retirement plan or 529 plan trustee or administrator, or (c)
accounts held in the name of an insurance company for its separate
account(s), or (d) other accounts having multiple underlying owners but
registered in a manner such that the underlying beneficial owners are not
identified to the Transfer Agent.

However, the Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor overall purchase and
redemption activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns that may
suggest excessive trading by the underlying owners. If evidence of possible
excessive trading activity is observed by the Transfer Agent, the financial
intermediary that is the registered owner will be asked to review account
activity, and to confirm to the Transfer Agent and the fund that appropriate
action has been taken to curtail any excessive trading activity. However, the
Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in
omnibus or street name accounts ultimately depends on the capability and
cooperation of the financial intermediaries controlling those accounts.

Additional Policies and Procedures. The Fund's Board has adopted the
following additional policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent
and/or excessive exchanges and purchase and redemption activity:

o     30-Day Limit.  A direct shareholder may exchange some or all of the
         shares of the Fund held in his or her account to another eligible
         Oppenheimer fund once in a 30 calendar-day period. When shares are
         exchanged into a fund account, that account will be "blocked" from
         further exchanges into another fund for a period of 30 calendar days
         from the date of the exchange. The block will apply to the full
         account balance and not just to the amount exchanged into the
         account. For example, if a shareholder exchanged $1,000 from one
         fund into another fund in which the shareholder already owned shares
         worth $10,000, then, following the exchange, the full account
         balance ($11,000 in this example) would be blocked from further
         exchanges into another fund for a period of 30 calendar days. A
         "direct shareholder" is one whose account is registered on the
         Fund's books showing the name, address and tax ID number of the
         beneficial owner.

o     Exchanges Into Money Market Funds.  A direct shareholder will be
         permitted to exchange shares of a stock or bond fund for shares of a
         money market fund at any time, even if the shareholder has exchanged
         shares into the stock or bond fund during the prior 30 days.
         However, all of the shares held in that money market fund would then
         be blocked from further exchanges into another fund for 30 calendar
         days.

o     Dividend Reinvestments/B Share Conversions.  Reinvestment of dividends
         or distributions from one fund to purchase shares of another fund
         and the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares will not be
         considered exchanges for purposes of imposing the 30-day limit.

o     Asset Allocation.  Third-party asset allocation and rebalancing
         programs will be subject to the 30-day limit described above. Asset
         allocation firms that want to exchange shares held in accounts on
         behalf of their customers must identify themselves to the Transfer
         Agent and execute an acknowledgement and agreement to abide by these
         policies with respect to their customers' accounts. "On-demand"
         exchanges outside the parameters of portfolio rebalancing programs
         will be subject to the 30-day limit. However, investment programs by
         other Oppenheimer "funds-of-funds" that entail rebalancing of
         investments in underlying Oppenheimer funds will not be subject to
         these limits.

o     Automatic Exchange Plans.  Accounts that receive exchange proceeds
         through automatic or systematic exchange plans that are established
         through the Transfer Agent will not be subject to the 30-day block
         as a result of those automatic or systematic exchanges (but may be
         blocked from exchanges, under the 30-day limit, if they receive
         proceeds from other exchanges).


Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling
and exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.
A $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a

      value of less than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each
      applicable Fund account annually in September. See the Statement of
      Additional Information to learn how you can avoid this fee and for
      circumstances under which this fee will not be assessed.

The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the
      determination of net asset value is suspended, and the offering may be
      suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time the Board believes it is
      in the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may
      be modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund
      will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable
      law. If an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer
      Agent may rely on the instructions of any one owner. Telephone
      privileges apply to each owner of the account and the dealer
      representative of record for the account unless the Transfer Agent
      receives cancellation instructions from an owner of the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning
      transactions and has adopted other procedures to confirm that telephone
      instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax
      identification numbers and other account data or by using PINs, and by
      confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and the
      Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone
      instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent
      receives all required documents in proper form. From time to time, the
      Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements
      for redemptions stated in this Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating
      in NETWORKING through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are
      responsible for obtaining their clients' permission to perform those
      transactions, and are responsible to their clients who are shareholders
      of the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction erroneously or
      improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value
      of the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption
      price, which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ for
      each class of shares. The redemption value of your shares may be more
      or less than their original cost.

Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by
      check, or through AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by
      the shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives
      redemption instructions in proper form. However, under unusual
      circumstances determined by the SEC, payment may be delayed or
      suspended. For accounts registered in the name of a broker-dealer,
      payment will normally be forwarded within three business days after
      redemption.

The Transfer Agent may delay processing any type of redemption payment as
      described under "How to Sell Shares" for recently purchased shares, but
      only until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much
      as 10 days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be
      avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified
      check, or arrange with your bank to provide telephone or written
      assurance to the Transfer Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the
      account value has fallen below $200 for reasons other than the fact
      that the market value of shares has dropped. In some cases, involuntary
      redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the
      cancellation of share purchase orders.
Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack
      of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). This means
      that the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from
      the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems your shares in kind, you may
      bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such time as
      such securities are converted into cash.

Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of
      birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or
      principal place of business and your Social Security Number, Employer
      Identification Number or other government issued identification when
      you open an account. Additional information may be required in certain
      circumstances or to open corporate accounts.  The Fund or the Transfer
      Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity.  The
      Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary
      information is not received.  The Fund may also place limits on account
      transactions while it is in the process of attempting to verify your
      identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify your identity
      after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem
      your shares and close your account.

"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable
      dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges)
      if you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security
      or Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if
      you under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will
      mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report
      and annual notice of the Fund's privacy policy to shareholders having
      the same last name and address on the Fund's records. The consolidation
      of these mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through
      reduced mailing expense.


      If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call
      the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677. You may also notify the Transfer
      Agent in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and
      privacy notices will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after the
      Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.


Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of
shares from net tax-exempt income and/or net taxable investment income each
regular business day and to pay those dividends to shareholders monthly on a
date selected by the Board of Trustees. Daily dividends will not be declared
or paid on newly-purchased shares until Federal Funds are available to the
Fund from the purchase payment for such shares.

       The Fund attempts to pay dividends on Class A shares at a constant
level. There is no assurance that it will be able to do so. The Board of
Trustees may change the targeted dividend level at any time, without prior
notice to shareholders. The amount of those dividends and any other
distributions paid on other classes of shares may vary over time, depending
on market conditions, the composition of the Fund's portfolio, and expenses
borne by the particular class of shares. Dividends and other distributions
paid on Class A shares will generally be higher than dividends for Class B
and Class C shares, which normally have higher expenses than Class A. The
Fund cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or other distributions.

CAPITAL GAINS. Although the Fund does not seek capital gains, it may realize
capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities. If it does, it may make
distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains in
December of each year. The Fund may make supplemental distributions of
dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. There can
be no assurance that the Fund will pay any capital gains distributions in a
particular year. Long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the
tax information the Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your
account, specify on your application how you want to receive your dividends
and distributions. You have four options:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all
      dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the
      Fund.
Reinvest Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some
      distributions (dividends, short-term capital gains or long-term capital
      gains distributions) in the Fund while receiving the other types of
      distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through
      AccountLink.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all
      dividends and capital gains distributions or have them sent to your
      bank through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can
      reinvest all distributions in the same class of shares of another
      OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

TAXES. Dividends paid from net investment income earned by the Fund on
municipal securities will be excludable from gross income for federal income
tax purposes. All or a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund that are
derived from interest paid on certain "private activity bonds" may be an item
of tax preference if you are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

      Dividends and capital gains distributions may be subject to federal,
state or local taxes. Any short-term capital gain distributions are taxable
to you as ordinary income. Any long-term capital gain distributions are
taxable to you as long-term capital gains, no matter how long you have owned
shares in the Fund. The Fund may derive gains in part from municipal
obligations the Fund purchased below their principal or face values. All, or
a portion of these gains may be taxable to you as ordinary income rather than
capital gains. Whether you reinvest your distributions in additional shares
or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

      Exempt-interest dividends earned by residents of California should
not be subject to federal, state, or local income taxes. For State
purposes, dividends paid by the Fund will generally be exempt, if at the
close of each quarter at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets are
invested in debt obligations that pay interest exempt from California
individual income taxes. The portion of the Fund's dividends that are
attributable to income earned on other obligations (not California
municipal securities) will normally be subject to California personal
income tax.

      Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
amount of any taxable distribution you received in the previous year. The
Fund will also send you a separate statement summarizing the total
distributions paid by the Fund.

      The Fund intends each year to qualify as a "regulated investment
company" under the Internal Revenue Code, but reserves the right not to
qualify. It qualified during its last fiscal year. The Fund, as a regulated
investment company, will not be subject to Federal income taxes on any of its
income, provided that it satisfies certain income, diversification and
distribution requirements.

Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices
      fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or
      exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between
      the price you paid for the shares and the price you received when you
      sold them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the
      Fund may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders.
      If that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders

      This information is only a summary of certain federal and state income
tax information about your investment. You should consult with your tax
advisor about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax
situation.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's
financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information
reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an
investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). This information has been audited by KPMG LLP, the Fund's
independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the
Fund's financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional
Information, which is available on request.

ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

The investment objective and the principal investment policies and the main
risks of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. This Statement of
Additional Information contains supplemental information about those policies
and the types of securities that the Fund's investment manager,
OppenheimerFunds, Inc., (the "Manager") will select for the Fund. Additional
explanations are also provided about the strategies the Fund may use to try
to achieve its objective.

The Fund's Investment Policies. The Fund does not make investments with the
objective of seeking capital growth, since that would generally be
inconsistent with its goal of seeking tax-exempt income. However, the value
of the securities held by the Fund may be affected by changes in general
interest rates. Because the current value of debt securities varies inversely
with changes in prevailing interest rates, if interest rates increased after
a security was purchased, that security would normally decline in value.
Conversely, should interest rates decrease after a security was purchased,
normally its value would rise.

      However, those fluctuations in value will not generally result in
realized gains or losses to the Fund unless the Fund sells the security prior
to maturity. A debt security held to maturity is redeemable by its issuer at
full principal value plus accrued interest. The Fund does not usually intend
to dispose of securities prior to their maturity, but may do so for
liquidity, or because of other factors affecting the issuer that cause the
Manager to sell the particular security. In that case, the Fund could
experience a capital gain or loss on the sale.

      There are variations in the credit quality of municipal securities,
both within a particular rating classification and between classifications.
These variations depend on numerous factors. The yields of municipal
securities depend on a number of factors, including general conditions in the
municipal securities market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity
of the obligation and rating (if any) of the issue. These factors are
discussed in greater detail below.


Municipal Securities. The types of municipal securities in which the Fund may
invest are described in the Prospectus under "What Does the Fund Mainly
Invest In" and "About the Fund's Investments". Municipal securities are
generally classified as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and notes. A
discussion of the general characteristics of these principal types of
municipal securities follows below.


|X|   Municipal Bonds. We have classified longer term municipal securities as
"municipal bonds." The principal classifications of long-term municipal bonds
are "general obligation" and "revenue" (including "industrial development")
bonds. They may have fixed, variable or floating rates of interest, as
described below.

      Some bonds may be "callable," allowing the issuer to redeem them before
their maturity date. To protect bondholders, callable bonds may be issued
with provisions that prevent them from being called for a period of time.
Typically, that is 5 to 10 years from the issuance date. When interest rates
decline, if the call protection on a bond has expired, it is more likely that
the issuer may call the bond. If that occurs, the Fund might have to reinvest
the proceeds of the called bond in bonds that pay a lower rate of return.

|_|   General Obligation Bonds. The basic security behind general obligation
bonds is the issuer's pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing, if any,
power for the repayment of principal and the payment of interest. Issuers of
general obligation bonds include states, counties, cities, towns, and
regional districts. The proceeds of these obligations are used to fund a wide
range of public projects, including construction or improvement of schools,
highways and roads, and water and sewer systems. The rate of taxes that can
be levied for the payment of debt service on these bonds may be limited or
unlimited. Additionally, there may be limits as to the rate or amount of
special assessments that can be levied to meet these obligations.

|_|   Revenue Bonds. The principal security for a revenue bond is generally
the net revenues derived from a particular facility, group of facilities, or,
in some cases, the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue
source, such as a state's or local government's proportionate share of the
Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. Revenue bonds are issued to finance a
wide variety of capital projects. Examples include electric, gas, water and
sewer systems; highways, bridges, and tunnels; port and airport facilities;
colleges and universities; and hospitals.

      Although the principal security for these types of bonds may vary from
bond to bond, many provide additional security in the form of a debt service
reserve fund that may be used to make principal and interest payments on the
issuer's obligations. Housing finance authorities have a wide range of
security, including partially or fully insured mortgages, rent subsidized
and/or collateralized mortgages, and/or the net revenues from housing or
other public projects. Some authorities provide further security in the form
of a state's ability (without obligation) to make up deficiencies in the debt
service reserve fund.

|_|   Industrial Development Bonds. Industrial development bonds are
considered municipal bonds if the interest paid is exempt from federal income
tax. They are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to raise money to
finance various privately operated facilities for business and manufacturing,
housing, sports, and pollution control. These bonds may also be used to
finance public facilities such as airports, mass transit systems, ports, and
parking. The payment of the principal and interest on such bonds is dependent
solely on the ability of the facility's user to meet its financial
obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property financed by
the bond as security for those payments.

|_|   Mello-Roos Bonds. These are bonds issued under the California
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act. They are used to finance infrastructure
projects, such as roads or sewage treatment plants. In most cases they are
secured by real estate taxes levied on property located in the same community
as the project. This type of financing was created in response to statutory
limits on real property taxes that were enacted in California. The bonds do
not constitute an obligation of a municipal government. Timely payment of
principal and interest depends on the ability of the developer of the project
or other property owners to pay their real estate taxes. Therefore these
bonds are subject to risks of nonpayment as a result of a general economic
decline or decline in the real estate market, as well as the credit risk that
of the developer.

|_|   Private Activity Municipal Securities. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the
"Tax Reform Act") reorganized, as well as amended, the rules governing tax
exemption for interest on certain types of municipal securities. The Tax
Reform Act generally did not change the tax treatment of bonds issued in
order to finance governmental operations. Thus, interest on general
obligation bonds issued by or on behalf of state or local governments, the
proceeds of which are used to finance the operations of such governments,
continues to be tax-exempt. However, the Tax Reform Act limited the use of
tax-exempt bonds for non-governmental (private) purposes. More stringent
restrictions were placed on the use of proceeds of such bonds. Interest on
certain private activity bonds is taxable under the revised rules. There is
an exception for "qualified" tax-exempt private activity bonds, for example,
exempt facility bonds including certain industrial development bonds,
qualified mortgage bonds, qualified Section 501(c)(3) bonds, and qualified
student loan bonds.

      In addition, limitations as to the amount of private activity bonds
which each state may issue were revised downward by the Tax Reform Act, which
will reduce the supply of such bonds. The value of the Fund's portfolio could
be affected if there is a reduction in the availability of such bonds.

      Interest on certain private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986,
which continues to be tax-exempt, will be treated as a tax preference item
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (discussed below) to which
certain taxpayers are subject. The Fund may hold municipal securities the
interest on which (and thus a proportionate share of the exempt-interest
dividends paid by the Fund) will be subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax on individuals and corporations.

      The federal alternative minimum tax is designed to ensure that all
persons who receive income pay some tax, even if their regular tax is zero.
This is accomplished in part by including in taxable income certain tax
preference items that are used to calculate alternative minimum taxable
income. The Tax Reform Act made tax-exempt interest from certain private
activity bonds a tax preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum
tax on individuals and corporations. Any exempt-interest dividend paid by a
regulated investment company will be treated as interest on a specific
private activity bond to the extent of the proportionate relationship the
interest the investment company receives on such bonds bears to all its
exempt interest dividends.

      In addition, corporate taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax
may, under some circumstances, have to include exempt-interest dividends in
calculating their alternative minimum taxable income. That could occur in
situations where the "adjusted current earnings" of the corporation exceeds
its alternative minimum taxable income.

      To determine whether a municipal security is treated as a taxable
private activity bond, it is subject to a test for: (a) a trade or business
use and security interest, or (b) a private loan restriction. Under the trade
or business use and security interest test, an obligation is a private
activity bond if: (i) more than 10% of the bond proceeds are used for private
business purposes and (ii) 10% or more of the payment of principal or
interest on the issue is directly or indirectly derived from such private use
or is secured by the privately used property or the payments related to the
use of the property. For certain types of uses, a 5% threshold is substituted
for this 10% threshold.

      The term "private business use" means any direct or indirect use in a
trade or business carried on by an individual or entity other than a state or
municipal governmental unit. Under the private loan restriction, the amount
of bond proceeds that may be used to make private loans is limited to the
lesser of 5% or $5.0 million of the proceeds. Thus, certain issues of
municipal securities could lose their tax-exempt status retroactively if the
issuer fails to meet certain requirements as to the expenditure of the
proceeds of that issue or the use of the bond-financed facility. The Fund
makes no independent investigation of the users of such bonds or their use of
proceeds of the bonds. If the Fund should hold a bond that loses its
tax-exempt status retroactively, there might be an adjustment to the
tax-exempt income previously distributed to shareholders.

      Additionally, a private activity bond that would otherwise be a
qualified tax-exempt private activity bond will not, under Internal Revenue
Code Section 147(a), be a qualified bond for any period during which it is
held by a person who is a "substantial user" of the facilities or by a
"related person" of such a substantial user. This "substantial user"
provision applies primarily to exempt facility bonds, including industrial
development bonds. The Fund may invest in industrial development bonds and
other private activity bonds. Therefore, the Fund may not be an appropriate
investment for entities which are "substantial users" (or persons related to
"substantial users") of such exempt facilities. Those entities and persons
should consult their tax advisers before purchasing shares of the Fund.

      A "substantial user" of such facilities is defined generally as a
"non-exempt person who regularly uses part of a facility" financed from the
proceeds of exempt facility bonds. Generally, an individual will not be a
"related person" under the Internal Revenue Code unless such individual or
the individual's immediate family (spouse, brothers, sisters and immediate
descendants) own directly or indirectly in the aggregate more than 50% in
value of the equity of a corporation or partnership which is a "substantial
user" of a facility financed from the proceeds of exempt facility bonds.

|X|   Municipal Notes. Municipal securities having a maturity (when the
security is issued) of less than one year are generally known as municipal
notes. Municipal notes generally are used to provide for short-term working
capital needs. Some of the types of municipal notes the Fund can invest in
are described below.

|_|   Tax Anticipation Notes. These are issued to finance working capital
needs of municipalities. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of
various seasonal tax revenue, such as income, sales, use or other business
taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes.

|_|   Revenue Anticipation Notes. These are notes issued in expectation of
receipt of other types of revenue, such as federal revenues available under
federal revenue-sharing programs.

|_|   Bond Anticipation Notes. Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide
interim financing until long-term financing can be arranged. The long-term
bonds that are issued typically also provide the money for the repayment of
the notes.

|_|   Construction Loan Notes. These are sold to provide project construction
financing until permanent financing can be secured. After successful
completion and acceptance of the project, it may receive permanent financing
through public agencies, such as the Federal Housing Administration.

|_|   Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. This type of short-term obligation
(usually having a maturity of 270 days or less, is issued by a municipality
to meet current working capital needs.

|X|   Municipal Lease Obligations. The Fund's investments in municipal lease
obligations may be through certificates of participation that are offered to
investors by public entities. Municipal leases may take the form of a lease
or an installment purchase contract issued by a state or local government
authority to obtain funds to acquire a wide variety of equipment and
facilities.

      Some municipal lease securities may be deemed to be "illiquid"
securities. Their purchase by the Fund would be limited as described below in
"Illiquid Securities." From time to time the Fund may invest more than 5% of
its net assets in municipal lease obligations that the Manager has determined
to be liquid under guidelines set by the Board of Trustees.

      Those guidelines require the Manager to evaluate:
|_|   the frequency of trades and price quotations for such securities;
|_|   the number of dealers or other potential buyers willing to purchase or
            sell such securities;
|_|   the availability of market-makers; and
|_|   the nature of the trades for such securities.

      While the Fund holds such securities, the Manager will also evaluate
the likelihood of a continuing market for these securities and their credit
quality.

      Municipal leases have special risk considerations. Although lease
obligations do not constitute general obligations of the municipality for
which the municipality's taxing power is pledged, a lease obligation is
ordinarily backed by the municipality's covenant to budget for, appropriate
and make the payments due under the lease obligation. However, certain lease
obligations contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the
municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments
in future years unless money is appropriated for that purpose on a yearly
basis. While the obligation might be secured by the lease, it might be
difficult to dispose of that property in case of a default.

      Projects financed with certificates of participation generally are not
subject to state constitutional debt limitations or other statutory
requirements that may apply to other municipal securities. Payments by the
public entity on the obligation underlying the certificates are derived from
available revenue sources. That revenue might be diverted to the funding of
other municipal service projects. Payments of interest and/or principal with
respect to the certificates are not guaranteed and do not constitute an
obligation of a state or any of its political subdivisions.

      In addition to the risk of "non-appropriation," municipal lease
securities do not have as highly liquid a market as conventional municipal
bonds. Municipal leases, like other municipal debt obligations, are subject
to the risk of non-payment of interest or repayment of principal by the
issuer. The ability of issuers of municipal leases to make timely lease
payments may be adversely affected in general economic downturns and as
relative governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal, state and
local governmental units. A default in payment of income would result in a
reduction of income to the Fund. It could also result in a reduction in the
value of the municipal lease and that, as well as a default in repayment of
principal, could result in a decrease in the net asset value of the Fund.

|X|   Ratings of Municipal Securities. Ratings by ratings organizations such
as Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a
division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and Fitch, Inc. represent the
respective rating agency's opinions of the credit quality of the municipal
securities they undertake to rate. However, their ratings are general
opinions and are not guarantees of quality. Municipal securities that have
the same maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields, while other
municipal securities that have the same maturity and coupon but different
ratings may have the same yield.

      Lower grade securities may have a higher yield than securities rated in
the higher rating categories. In addition to having a greater risk of default
than higher-grade, securities, there may be less of a market for these
securities. As a result they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price.
The additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level
of income from these securities, and the Fund's net asset value may be
affected by declines in the value of lower-grade securities. However, because
the added risk of lower quality securities might not be consistent with the
Fund's policy of preservation of capital, the Fund limits its investments in
lower quality securities.

      Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, a municipal security may cease
to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for
purchase by the Fund. Neither event requires the Fund to sell the security,
but the Manager will consider such events in determining whether the Fund
should continue to hold the security. To the extent that ratings given by
Moody's, Standard & Poor's, or Fitch, Inc. change as a result of changes in
those rating organizations or their rating systems, the Fund will attempt to
use comparable ratings as standards for investments in accordance with the
Fund's investment policies.

      The Fund may buy municipal securities that are "pre-refunded." The
issuer's obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally
collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account.
This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially the same risks of
default as a AAA-rated security.

      A list of the rating categories of Moody's, S&P and Fitch, Inc. for
municipal securities is contained in Appendix A to this Statement of
Additional Information. Because the Fund may purchase securities that are
unrated by nationally recognized rating organizations, the Manager will make
its own assessment of the credit quality of unrated issues the Fund buys. The
Manager will use criteria similar to those used by the rating agencies, and
assigning a rating category to a security that is comparable to what the
Manager believes a rating agency would assign to that security. However, the
Manager's rating does not constitute a guarantee of the quality of a
particular issue.


Special Considerations Relating to California Municipal Obligations
-------------------------------------------------------------------

  Because the Trust focuses its investments primarily on California municipal
securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive
to events affecting the fiscal stability of the State of California
(sometimes referred to in this section as the "State") and its
municipalities, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue
securities.  The following information constitutes only a brief summary, does
not purport to be a complete description, and is based on information
available as of the date of this Statement of Additional Information
primarily from official statements and prospectuses relating to securities
offerings of the State, the latest of which is dated August 30, 2005.  Other
factors will affect issuers.  While the Trust has not independently verified
such information, it has no reason to believe that such information is not
correct in all material respects.  The creditworthiness of obligations issued
by local California issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of
obligations issued by the State, and the State has no responsibility to make
payment on such local obligations.

  There have been a number of political developments, voter initiatives,
state constitutional amendments and legislation in California in recent years
that may affect the ability of the State government and municipal governments
to pay interest and repay principal on the securities they have issued.  In
addition, in recent years, the State of California has derived a significant
portion of its revenues from personal income and sales taxes.  Because the
amount collected from these taxes is particularly sensitive to economic
conditions, the State's revenues have been volatile.

  It is not possible to predict the future impact of the legislation and
economic considerations described below on the long-term ability of the State
of California or California municipal issuers to pay interest or repay
principal on their obligations.  In part that is because of possible
inconsistencies in the terms of the various laws and Propositions and the
applicability of other statutes to these issues.  The budgets of California
counties and local governments may be significantly affected by state budget
decisions beyond their control.  The information below about these conditions
is only a brief summary, based upon information the Trust has drawn from
sources that it believes are reliable.

General Economic Conditions

  The economy of the State of California is the largest among the 50 states
and one of the largest in the world.  This diversified economy has major
components in high technology, trade, entertainment, agriculture, tourism,
construction and services. The State's rate of economic growth could be
adversely affected by developments in these or other sectors of its economy.

  A significant downturn in U.S. stock market prices could adversely affect
California's economy by reducing household spending and business investment,
particularly in the important high technology sector. Moreover, a large and
increasing share of the State's General Fund revenue in the form of income
and capital gains taxes is directly related to, and would be adversely
affected by, a significant downturn in the performance of the stock markets.
For example, the State estimated that stock market related personal income
tax revenue declined from $17.6 billion in fiscal year 2000-01 to $5.2
billion in 2002-03.

  Since early 2001, the State has faced severe financial challenges, which
may continue for several years.  The State experienced an economic recession
in 2001 and a sluggish recovery in 2002 and 2003, weakened exports, and most
particularly, large stock market declines. These adverse fiscal and economic
factors resulted in a serious erosion of General Fund tax revenues. The three
largest General Fund tax sources (personal income, sales and use, and
corporate taxes) totaled $72.8 billion in fiscal year 2000-01, $59.7 billion
in 2001-02, $61.9 billion in 2002-03 and $67.2 billion in 2003-04.  As of
July 2005, such sources are projected to be $74.3 billion in 2004-05 and
$79.0 billion in 2005-06.

  It is impossible to predict the time, magnitude or location of a major
earthquake or its effect on the California economy. In January 1994, a major
earthquake struck the Los Angeles area, causing significant damage in a four
county area.  The possibility exists that another such earthquake could
create a major dislocation of the California economy and significantly affect
State and local governmental budgets.

State Budgets

  Prior Years' Financial Results. Following a severe recession beginning in
  ------------------------------
1990, the State's financial condition improved markedly during the fiscal
years starting in 1995-96, due to a combination of better than expected
revenues, a slowdown in growth of social welfare programs, and continued
spending restraint based on actions taken in earlier years.  The State's cash
position also improved, and no external deficit borrowing occurred through
the end of the five fiscal years prior to 2001-02. In 2001-02, revenues
dropped by an unprecedented amount compared to the prior year. Revenues from
the three largest tax sources were $59.7 billion, a drop of over $13 billion
from 2000-01, the vast bulk of which was attributable to reduced personal
income taxes from stock option and capital gains activity. Consequently, the
Department of Finance estimates that, on a budgetary basis, the General Fund
had a $2.1 billion deficit at June 30, 2002.

  2002 Budget Act.  The 2002 Budget Act initially forecasted $79.2 billion in
  ---------------
General Fund revenues and transfers and $76.7 billion in expenditures.  These
revenue estimates proved to be substantially overstated, as expected economic
recovery did not occur.  Despite mid-year budget adjustment legislation,
totaling about $10.4 billion in spending reductions, deferrals and funding
transfers (including a $1.1 billion deferral of K-14 education funding into
the 2003-04 fiscal year), California's fiscal condition continued to
deteriorate.  California ended fiscal year 2002-03 with a $7.5 billion
negative fund balance.

  2003 Budget Act. The 2003 Budget Act forecasted $73.4 billion in General
  ---------------
Fund revenues and transfers and $71.1 billion in expenditures.  However, the
budget assumed the issuance of $10.7 billion in fiscal recovery bonds.

  In November 2003, the Governor of the State, Gray Davis, was recalled and
replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who proposed an alternative Economic
Recovery Bond measure to address the budget deficit.  In March 2004,
California voters approved both the issuance of up to $15 billion in Economic
Recovery Bonds and a related balanced budget amendment described under
"Economic Recovery Bonds" below.

  According to the 2004 Budget Act, revenues and transfers for 2003-04 were
estimated to be $74.6 billion with $75.6 billion in expenditures. As a result
of the sale of the Economic Recovery Bonds and the use of the deficit
recovery fund (see below), California ended the fiscal year with a reserve of
$1.7 billion.

  2004 Budget Act.  The 2004 Budget Act forecasted $77.3 billion in General
  ---------------
Fund revenues and transfers and $80.7 billion in expenditures. The June 30,
2005 reserve is now projected to be $784 million.

  In a September 2004 report, the Legislative Analyst's Office ("LAO")
concluded that while the 2004 Budget Act "includes significant ongoing
savings" and "makes some progress toward resolving the State's ongoing
structural budget shortfall," the 2004 Budget Act, like the 2002 Budget Act
and 2003 Budget Act, contains a "significant number of one-time or
limited-term solutions" and "obligates additional spending in future years."
The LAO stated that a combination of these factors will likely add to the
projected shortfall contained in the previous LAO May Report, and "that
substantial additional actions will be needed to bring future budgets into
balance."

  One-time savings measures contained in the 2004 Budget Act and highlighted
in the LAO September Report include, among others, the use of approximately
$2 billion in Economic Recovery Bonds authorized by Proposition 57, the
proposed issuance of $929 million in pension obligation bonds, the deferral
of $1.2 billion in Proposition 42 transportation spending, the postponement
of approximately $200 million of local government mandate payments, and the
diversion of property tax revenue from local governments ($1.3 billion for
each of fiscal years 2004-05 and 2005-06). The out-year spending highlighted
by the LAO September Report includes the repayment of $1.3 billion of the
vehicle license fee "gap" loan to local governments due in fiscal year
2006-07, as well as the repayment of Proposition 98 deferrals and certain
transportation loans.

  The LAO updated its projections in a November 2004 report to project an
imbalance of about $6.7 billion between revenues and expenditures for the
fiscal year 2005-06 budget, and a shortfall of nearly $10 billion in fiscal
year 2006-07 under the then current-law spending and revenue policies, absent
corrective actions.  The LAO further stated that, given the size and
persistence of this structural budget shortfall, even in the face of an
expanding economy and strengthening revenues, "it is unlikely that California
will be able to simply `grow its way of this shortfall.'"

  According to the 2005 Budget Act, as of July 2005, General Fund revenues
and transfers for fiscal year 2004-05 were projected to be $79.9 billion
while expenditures were projected to be $81.7 billion.

  2005 Budget Act.  The 2005-06 Governor's Budget, released in January 2005,
  ---------------
reported that, in the absence of corrective actions to change existing
policies, operating deficits, estimated at $9.1 billion for 2005-06 would
continue to be incurred. This budget projected General Fund revenues and
transfers for 2005-06 of $83.8 billion, an increase of $3.9 billion compared
with revised estimates for 2004-05. General Fund expenditures were projected
at $85.7 billion, an increase of $4.0 billion compared with revised estimates
for 2004-05.  The budget projected to end fiscal year 2005-06 with a $641
million reserve.

  The 2005-06 Budget included $7.0 billion in program reductions and related
cost savings in 2005-06. In addition, the budget proposed the issuance of an
additional $1.7 billion in Economic Recovery Bonds and a variety of proposals
to increase tax revenues by $409 million without tax increases.

  The 2005-06 Budget also proposed several major budget reforms, including
modifying Proposition 98 (the State's minimum funding requirement for
education), imposing across-the-board budget reductions in the event of
fiscal imbalance, consolidating certain outstanding obligations, terminating
the State's right to suspend the automatic transfer of gas tax revenues to
special transportation funds, prohibiting the borrowing of special funds to
cover General Fund imbalances and terminating the State's and local
government's sponsorship of defined benefit retirement plans.  In early April
2005, the Governor announced that he would not seek, before June 2006, to
terminate the State's and local government's sponsorship of defined benefit
retirement plans.

  In its January 12, 2005 report, the LAO observed that while the budget's
proposals would address the 2005-06 shortfall, they fall well short of fully
addressing the State's ongoing structural imbalances and the budget reform
proposals would dramatically reduce the ability of future policy makers to
establish budget priorities when addressing future budget shortfalls.

  In February 2005, the LAO released a more expansive analysis of the budget
and the Governor's reform proposals.  Based on newer data, the LAO projected
that revenues would exceed the 2005-06 Governor's Budget forecast by $1.4
billion in 2004-05 and by $800 million in 2005-06.  Based on these increased
revenue projections, and assuming all the Governor's budget proposals were
adopted and nearly all the savings were realized, the LAO projected that the
State would end 2005-06 with a general reserve of $2.9 billion ($2.4 billion
more than that assumed in the budget estimate).

  The LAO warned that some of the projected savings in the budget were
subject to considerable risk, including the assumed sale of $765 million in
pension obligation bonds, which is subject to court challenge, $408 million
in public employee compensation savings which are dependent on collective
bargaining negotiations, and savings from unallocated reductions in State
operations in most program areas.  The LAO also highlighted other factors
that would perpetuate the State's structural deficit, such as the use of $1.7
billion of Economic Recovery Bond proceeds and the end, in fiscal year
2006-07, of the two year diversion of local property taxes under Senate
Amendment No. 4. (see below).  In the report, the LAO continued to warn of
budget shortfalls in the range of $4 to $4.5 billion, assuming all the
Governor's proposals (or alternative proposals of equal magnitude) were
adopted, or of budget deficits in the range of twice that magnitude if such
proposals were not adopted.

  In May 2005, the Governor released his revision to the budget proposed in
January 2005.  This May Revision projected the State will receive about $4.2
billion in additional revenues (for 2004-05 and 2005-06) from revenues
projected in January.  The Governor proposed to use these increased resources
almost exclusively for one-time purposes.  The May Revision would reduce the
amount of budgetary debt by $2.5 billion by not issuing the $1.7 billion in
Economic Recovery Bonds proposed by the January budget and by repaying
approximately $581 million to local governments related to the reduction in
Vehicle License Fee revenue that would have been due in full in 2006-07.  In
addition, the May Revision would increase funding of current programs by a
net amount of $1.7 billion by restoring the Proposition 42 transfer of
General Fund sales taxes to transportation special funds (which the Governor
had proposed suspending in the January budget), restoring funding for the
senior citizens' property tax and renters' tax relief programs, and restoring
one-time funds for K-14 education (primarily related to borrowings made in
1995-1996 and 1996-1997).

  The Governor signed the 2005 Budget Act on July 11, 2005 which was
substantially in line with the Governor's proposals in the May Revision.  The
2005 Budget Act forecasts $84.5 billion in General Fund revenues and
transfers and $90.0 billion in expenditures. The 2005 Budget Act projects
that by utilizing the prior year's $7.5 billion General Fund balance, the
General Fund will end the year with a positive balance of $1.9 billion.   The
June 30, 2006 reserve is projected to be $641 million.  The 2005 Budget Act
assumes that the State will not issue Economic Recovery Bonds or raise
taxes.

  Constraints on the Budget Process

  Approved in March 2004 with the State's Economic Recovery Bonds,
Proposition 58 requires the State to enact a balanced budget and establish a
special reserve in the General Fund and restricts future borrowing to cover
budget deficits. As a result of the provisions requiring the enactment of a
balanced budget and restricting borrowing, the State would, in some cases,
have to take more immediate actions to correct budgetary shortfalls.
Beginning with the budget for fiscal year 2004-05, Proposition 58 requires
the Legislature to pass a balanced budget and provides for mid-year
adjustments in the event that the budget falls out of balance. The balanced
budget determination is made by subtracting expenditures from all available
resources, including prior-year balances.

  If the Governor determines that the State is facing substantial revenue
shortfalls or spending deficiencies, the Governor is authorized to declare a
fiscal emergency. He or she would then be required to propose legislation to
address the emergency, and call the Legislature into special session to
consider that legislation.  If the Legislature fails to pass and send to the
Governor legislation to address the budget fiscal emergency within 45 days,
the Legislature would be prohibited from acting on any other bills or
adjourning in joint recess until such legislation is passed.

  Proposition 58 also requires that a special reserve (the Budget
Stabilization Account) be established in the State's General Fund. Beginning
with fiscal year 2006-07, a specified portion of estimated annual General
Fund revenues would be transferred by the Controller into the Budget
Stabilization Account no later than September 30 of each fiscal year. These
transfers would continue until the balance in the Budget Stabilization
Account reaches $8 billion or 5 percent of the estimated General Fund
revenues for that fiscal year, whichever is greater. The annual transfer
requirement would be in effect whenever the balance falls below the $8
billion or 5 percent target. The annual transfers could be suspended or
reduced for a fiscal year by an executive order issued by the Governor no
later than June 1 of the preceding fiscal year.

  Proposition 58 will also prohibit certain future borrowing to cover budget
deficits. This restriction applies to general obligation bonds, revenue
bonds, and certain other forms of long-term borrowing. The restriction does
not apply to certain other types of borrowing, such as (a) short-term
borrowing to cover cash shortfalls in the General Fund (including revenue
anticipation notes or revenue anticipation warrants currently used by the
State), or (b) inter-fund borrowings.

  Future Budgets. It cannot be predicted what actions will be taken in the
  --------------
future by the State Legislature and the Governor to deal with changing State
revenues and expenditures. The State budget will be affected by national and
State economic conditions and other factors.


State Indebtedness


  General Obligation Bonds. As of July 1, 2005, the State had approximately
  ------------------------
$47.5 billion of its general obligation bonds outstanding. General obligation
bond authorizations in an aggregate amount of approximately $35.2 billion
remained unissued as of that date.

  Initiative measures to issue $3 billion in bonds (California Stem Cell
Research and Cures Act) and to issue $750 million in bonds (Children's
Hospital Projects Bond Act) were approved by the voters in the November 2004
election.

  The Legislature has approved approximately $600 million of new bond
authorization, the California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public
Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2006, to be placed on the
June 2006 primary election ballot. A $9.95 billion bond measure for high
speed rail projects has been placed on the November 2006 general election
ballot. Additional bond proposals may also be added to the 2006 primary or
general election ballots.

  Ratings.  As of July 25, 2005, the State's general obligation bonds were
  -------
rated A2 by Moody's, A by Standard & Poor's, and A by Fitch Ratings.

  Upon the Governor's approval of the 2005 Budget Act, Fitch Ratings raised
the rating on the State's outstanding general obligation bonds to A from A-.
Also upgraded, to A- from BBB+, were the ratings on bonds issued by several
State agencies but supported by State resources.  At the same time, Moody's
upgraded the State's general obligation bonds to A2 from A3, while
maintaining the State's positive rating outlook.  The upgrade reflects a
continuing favorable trend of recovery in the State's economy and tax
revenues, better than expected financial performance in 2004-05, and a
moderately improved financial outlook for 2005-06 and beyond.  The July 2005
rating action by Fitch Ratings and Moody's affects $36.5 billion of
outstanding general obligation bonds, $5.7 billion of General Fund-supported
lease revenue bonds, and $2.5 billion of General Fund-enhanced tobacco
settlement bonds.

  It is not presently possible to determine whether, or the extent to which,
Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch Ratings will change such ratings in the
future. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by
local California issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of
obligations issued by the State, and there is no obligation on the part of
the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.

  Economic Recovery Bonds.  The California Economic Recovery Bond Act
  -----------------------
("Proposition 57") was approved by voters in March 2004. Proposition 57
authorized the issuance of up to $15 billion in Economic Recovery Bonds to
finance the negative General Fund reserve balance as of June 30, 2004, and
other General Fund obligations undertaken prior to June 30, 2004.

  Repayment of the Economic Recovery Bonds is secured by a pledge of revenues
from a one-quarter cent increase in the State's sales and use tax starting
July 1, 2004. Fifty percent, or up to $5 billion of future deposits in the
reserve fund created by the Balanced Budget Amendment approved by Proposition
58, may be used to repay the Economic Recovery Bonds. In addition, as
voter-approved general obligation bonds, payment of the Economic Recovery
Bonds is secured by the State's full faith and credit in the event the
dedicated revenue is insufficient to repay the bonds.

  In May and June 2004, the State issued $10.9 billion of Economic Recovery
Bonds, which resulted (due to the sale of bonds at a premium) in the deposit
of net proceeds in the General Fund of approximately $11.3 billion.  The
State may issue the remainder of authorized Economic Recovery Bonds in future
fiscal years.

  Commercial Paper Program. Pursuant to the terms of the bank credit
  ------------------------
agreement presently in effect supporting the State's general obligation
commercial paper program, up to $1.5 billion of general obligation commercial
paper notes may be outstanding at any time; this amount may be increased or
decreased in the future. As of July 1, 2005, the legislative finance
committees had authorized the issuance of up to approximately $20.0 billion
of commercial paper notes; as of that date approximately $94 million
aggregate principal amount of general obligation commercial paper notes was
outstanding.

  Lease-Purchase Debt. In addition to general obligation bonds, the State
  -------------------
builds and acquires capital facilities through the use of lease-purchase
borrowing. As of July 1, 2005, the State had approximately $7.8 billion of
outstanding lease purchase debt.

  Non-Recourse Debt. Certain State agencies and authorities issue revenue
  -----------------
obligations for which the General Fund has no liability. Revenue bonds
represent obligations payable from State revenue-producing enterprises and
projects, which are not payable from the General Fund, and conduit
obligations payable only from revenues paid by private users of facilities
financed by the revenue bonds. State agencies and authorities had $47.3
billion aggregate principal amount of revenue bonds and notes which are
non-recourse to the General Fund outstanding as of July 30, 2005.

  Cash Flow Borrowings.  As part of its cash management program, the State
  --------------------
has regularly issued short-term obligations to meet cash flow needs.  The
State has issued Revenue Anticipation Notes ("RANs") in 19 of the last 20
fiscal years to partially fund timing differences between receipts and
disbursements, as the majority of General Fund revenues are received in the
last part of the fiscal year.  The State expects to issue approximately $3
billion in RANs for the 2005-06 fiscal year.

  Repayment of Energy Loans.  The Department of Water Resources (the "DWR")
  -------------------------
borrowed money from the General Fund for DWR's power supply program between
January and June 2001.  DWR has issued approximately $11.25 billion in
revenue bonds in several series and in the fall of 2002 used the net proceeds
of the revenue bonds to repay outstanding loans from banks and commercial
lenders in the amount of approximately $3.5 billion and a loan from the
General Fund in the amount of $6.1 billion plus accrued interest of
approximately $500 million.  Issuance of the DWR revenue bonds had been
delayed since mid-2001 by a number of factors, including administrative and
legal challenges.

  The loans from the General Fund and the banks and commercial lenders
financed DWR's power supply program costs during 2001 that exceeded DWR's
revenues from the sale of electricity.  The general purpose of the power
supply program was to provide to customers of the three major investor-owned
electric utilities in the State (the "IOUs") the portion of their power not
provided by the IOUs.  The power supply program has become self-supporting
and no additional loans from the General Fund are authorized.  As of January
1, 2003, the DWR's authority to enter into new power purchase contracts
terminated, and the IOUs resumed responsibility for obtaining electricity for
their customers.

  The primary source of money to pay debt service on the DWR revenue bonds
will be revenues derived from customers of the IOUs resulting from charges
set by the California Public Utilities Commission. The DWR revenue bonds are
not a debt or liability of the State and do not directly, indirectly or
contingently obligate the State to levy or to pledge any form of taxation
whatever therefore or to make any appropriation for their payment.


  Enhanced Tobacco Settlement Revenue Bonds. In 1998, the State (together
  -----------------------------------------
with 45 other states and certain U.S. jurisdictions) signed a settlement
agreement with the four major cigarette manufacturers. The State agreed to
drop its lawsuit and not to sue in the future for monetary damages. Tobacco
manufacturers agreed to billions of dollars in payments and restrictions on
marketing activities. Under the settlement, the companies agreed to pay
California governments approximately $25 billion (subject to adjustments)
over a period of 25 years. Payments continue in perpetuity, with current
projections of $1.2 billion in 2025, steadily increasing each year to $1.6
billion in 2045. Under a separate Memorandum of Understanding, half of the
money will be paid to the State and half to local governments (all counties
and the cities of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Jose).


  An initial sale of 57.6% of the State's tobacco settlement revenues from
July 1, 2003, onward, producing $2.5 billion in revenue was completed in
January 2003. A second sale of the remaining amount, which produced $2.3
billion in revenue, was completed in September 2003 (Series 2003B).  In
August 2005, the Series 2003B bonds were refinanced, retaining all of the
covenants of the original issue.  In return, the State was paid a credit
enhancement fee of $535 million.  The 2003 Budget Act authorizes the Director
of Finance to make allocations with legislative notification if tobacco
settlement revenues are insufficient to cover the cost of the tobacco
securitization program. The Legislature is not obligated to make any such
requested appropriation in the future.


  Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are neither general nor legal obligations
of the State or any of its political subdivisions and neither the faith and
credit nor the taxing power nor any other assets or revenues of the State or
of any political subdivision is or shall be pledged to the payment of any
such bonds.

Local Government


|X|   The primary units of local government in California are the counties,
ranging in population from 1,200 (Alpine) to approximately 10 million (Los
Angeles). Counties are responsible for the provision of many basic services,
including indigent healthcare, welfare, courts, jails and public safety in
unincorporated areas. There are also 478 incorporated cities and thousands of
other special districts formed for education, utility and other services. The
fiscal condition of local governments has been constrained since the
enactment of "Proposition 13" in 1978 and later constitutional amendments,
which reduced and limited the future growth of property taxes and limited the
ability of local governments to impose "special taxes" (those devoted to a
specific purpose) without two-thirds voter approval. Proposition 218, another
initiative constitutional amendment enacted in 1996, further limited the
ability of local governments to impose or raise various taxes, fees, charges
and assessments without voter approval. Counties, in particular, have had
fewer options to raise revenues than many other local government entities,
and have been required to maintain many services.

  Some local governments in California have experienced notable financial
difficulties, including Los Angeles County and Orange County, and there is no
assurance that any California issuer will make full or timely payments of
principal or interest or remain solvent.

      According to the State, the 2004 Budget Act, related legislation and
the enactment of Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 4 (described below) will
dramatically change the State-local fiscal relationship. These constitutional
and statutory changes implement an agreement negotiated between the Governor
and local governments officials (the "State-local agreement") in connection
with the 2004 Budget Act. One change relates to the reduction of the vehicle
license fee ("VLF") rate from 2 percent to 0.65 percent of the market value
of the vehicle. In order to protect local governments, the reduction in VLF
revenue to cities and counties from this rate change will be replaced by an
increase in the amount of property tax they receive. Under the State-local
agreement and implementing legislation, for fiscal years 2004-05 and 2005-06
only, the replacement property taxes that cities and counties receive will be
reduced by $700 million. In future years, local governments will receive the
full value of the VLF revenue. Also for these two fiscal years, redevelopment
agencies will be required to shift $250 million to schools, and special
districts to shift $350 million, in property tax revenues they would
otherwise receive.

  As part of the State-local agreement, Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 4
was enacted by the Legislature and subsequently approved by the voters at the
November 2004 election.  Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 4 amends the
State Constitution to, among other things, reduce the Legislature's authority
over local government revenue sources by placing restrictions on the State's
access to local governments' property, sales, and vehicle license fee
revenues as of November 3, 2004. Beginning with fiscal year 2008-09, the
State will be able to borrow up to 8 percent of local property tax revenues,
but only if the Governor proclaims such action is necessary due to a severe
State fiscal hardship, two-thirds of both houses of the Legislature approves
the borrowing and the amount borrowed is required to be paid back within
three years. The State also will not be able to borrow from local property
tax revenues for more than two fiscal years within a period of 10 fiscal
years. In addition, the State cannot reduce the local sales tax rate or
restrict the authority of the local governments to impose or change the
distribution of the statewide local sales tax.

  Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 4 also prohibits the State from
mandating activities on cities, counties or special districts without
providing for the funding needed to comply with the mandates. Beginning in
fiscal year 2005-06, if the State does not provide funding for an activity
that has been determined to be mandated, the requirement on cities, counties
or special districts to abide by the mandate would be suspended. In addition,
Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 4 expands the definition of what
constitutes a mandate to encompass State action that transfers to cities,
counties and special districts financial responsibility for a required
program for which the State previously had partial or complete
responsibility. The State mandate provisions of Senate Constitutional
Amendment No. 4 do not apply to schools or community colleges or to mandates
relating to employee rights.

Constitutional, Legislative and Other Factors

  The State is subject to an annual appropriations limit imposed by Article
XIII B of the State Constitution (the "Appropriations Limit"). The
Appropriations Limit does not restrict appropriations to pay debt service on
voter-authorized bonds.

  Article XIII B prohibits the State from spending "appropriations subject to
limitation" in excess of the Appropriations Limit.  "Appropriations subject
to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which consist
of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory
licenses, user charges or other fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed
"the cost reasonably borne by that entity in providing the regulation,
product or service," but "proceeds of taxes" exclude most State subventions
to local governments, tax refunds and some benefit payments such as
unemployment insurance. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds which
are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees and
certain other non-tax funds.  Various types of appropriations are excluded
from the Appropriations Limit.

  The State's Appropriations Limit in each year is based on the Limit for the
prior year, adjusted annually for changes in State per capita personal income
and changes in population, and adjusted, when applicable, for any transfer of
financial responsibility for providing services to or from another unit of
government or any transfer of the financial source for the provisions of
services from tax proceeds to non-tax proceeds.

  The Legislature has enacted legislation to implement Article XIII B which
defines certain terms used in Article XIII B and sets forth the methods for
determining the Appropriations Limit. California Government code Section 7912
requires an estimate of the Appropriations Limit to be included in the
Governor's Budget, and thereafter to be subject to the budget process and
established in the Budget Act.

  On November 8, 1988, voters of the State approved Proposition 98, a
combined initiative constitutional amendment and statute called the
"Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act." Proposition 98
changed State funding of public education below the university level and the
operation of the State appropriations funding, primarily by guaranteeing K-14
schools a minimum share of General Fund revenues. Proposition 98 permits the
Legislature by two-thirds vote of both houses, with the Governor's
concurrence, to suspend the K-14 schools' minimum funding formula for a
one-year period.  Proposition 98 also contains provisions transferring
certain State tax revenues in excess of the Article XIII B limit to K-14
schools.

  Because of the complexities of Article XIII B, the ambiguities and possible
inconsistencies in its terms, the applicability of its exceptions and
exemptions and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations, it is
not possible to predict the impact of this or related legislation on the
Bonds in the Trust's portfolio.

  Other Constitutional amendments affecting State and local taxes and
appropriations have been proposed from time to time.  If any such initiatives
were adopted, the State could be pressured to provide additional financial
assistance to local Governments or appropriate revenues as mandated by such
initiatives. Propositions such as Proposition 98 and others that may be
adopted in the future may place increasing pressure on the State's budget
over future years, potentially reducing resources available for other State
programs, especially to the extent the Article XIII B spending limit would
restrain the State's ability to fund such other programs by raising taxes.

  Future Initiatives. Articles XIII A, XIII B, XIII C and XIII D were each
  ------------------
adopted as measures that qualified for the ballot pursuant to the State's
initiative process.  From time to time, other initiative measures could be
adopted that could effect revenues of the State or public agencies within the
State.

  Effect of other State Laws on Bond Obligations.

  Some of the tax-exempt securities that the Trust can invest in may be
obligations payable solely from the revenues of a specific institution or
secured by specific properties.  These are subject to provisions of
California law that could adversely affect the holders of such obligations.
For example, the revenues of California health care institutions may be
adversely affected by State laws, and California law limits the remedies of a
creditor secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on real property.  Debt
obligations payable solely from revenues of health care institutions may also
be insured by the State but no guarantee exists that adequate reserve funds
will be appropriated by the State legislature for such purpose.

  Pending Litigation

  The State of California is a party to numerous legal proceedings, many of
which normally occur in governmental operations.  In addition, the State is
involved in certain other legal proceedings that, if decided against the
State might require the State to make significant future expenditures or
impair future revenue sources.  Because of the prospective nature of these
proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such
litigation or estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to
pay debt service costs on its obligations.

  On July 15, 2005, Enron Corp., the energy trader that filed for bankruptcy
protection, agreed to a settlement with the State to end claims of market
manipulation during the California energy crisis of 2000 and 2001.  After
bankruptcy related adjustments, the State will receive a payment of over $300
million.

      On August 8, 2005, a lawsuit titled California Teachers Association et
al. v. Arnold Schwarzenegger et al. was filed.  Plaintiffs - California
Teachers Association, California Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack
O'Connell, and various other individuals - allege that the California
Constitution's minimum school funding guarantee was not followed for the
2004-2005 fiscal year and the 2005-06 fiscal year in the aggregate amount of
approximately $3.1 billion.  Plaintiffs seek a writ of mandate requiring the
State to recalculate the minimum-funding guarantee in compliance with the
California Constitution.


Other Investment Techniques and Strategies. In seeking its objective, the
Fund may from time to time employ the types of investment strategies and
investments described below.

|X|   Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations. Variable rate demand
obligations have a demand feature that allows the Fund to tender the
obligation to the issuer or a third party prior to its maturity. The tender
may be at par value plus accrued interest, according to the terms of the
obligations.

      The interest rate on a floating rate demand note is based on a stated
prevailing market rate, such as a bank's prime rate, the 91-day U.S. Treasury
Bill rate, or some other standard, and is adjusted automatically each time
such rate is adjusted. The interest rate on a variable rate demand note is
also based on a stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically
at specified intervals of not less than one year. Generally, the changes in
the interest rate on such securities reduce the fluctuation in their market
value. As interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital
appreciation or depreciation is less than that for fixed-rate obligations of
the same maturity. The Manager may determine that an unrated floating rate or
variable rate demand obligation meets the Fund's quality standards by reason
of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that
meets those quality standards.

      Floating rate and variable rate demand notes that have a stated
maturity in excess of one year may have features that permit the holder to
recover the principal amount of the underlying security at specified
intervals not exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice. The
issuer of that type of note normally has a corresponding right in its
discretion, after a given period, to prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the note plus accrued interest. Generally the issuer must provide a
specified number of days' notice to the holder.


      Inverse Floaters. Inverse floaters are a form of derivative
investments. "Inverse floaters" are municipal obligations on which the
interest rates typically fall as market rates increase and increase as market
rates fall. Inverse floaters are a form of derivative investment. Changes in
market interest rates or the floating rate of the security inversely affect
the residual interest rate of an inverse floater. As a result, the price of
an inverse floater will be considerably more volatile than that of a
fixed-rate obligation when interest rates change.

      To provide investment leverage, a municipal issuer might decide to
issue two variable rate obligations instead of a single long-term, fixed-rate
bond. For example, the interest rate on one obligation reflects short-term
interest rates. The interest rate on the other instrument, the inverse
floater, reflects the approximate rate the issuer would have paid on a
fixed-rate bond, multiplied by a factor of two, minus the rate paid on the
short-term instrument. The two portions may be recombined to create a
fixed-rate bond. The Manager might acquire both portions of that type of
offering, to reduce the effect of the volatility of the individual
securities. This provides the Manager with a flexible portfolio management
tool to vary the degree of investment leverage efficiently under different
market conditions. The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in
inverse floaters.

            Inverse floaters may offer relatively high current income,
reflecting the spread between short-term and long-term tax exempt interest
rates. As long as the municipal yield curve remains relatively steep and
short term rates remain relatively low, owners of inverse floaters will have
the opportunity to earn interest at above-market rates because they receive
interest at the higher long-term rates but have paid for bonds with lower
short-term rates. If the yield curve flattens and shifts upward, an inverse
floater will lose value more quickly than a conventional long-term bond. The
Fund will invest in inverse floaters to seek higher tax-exempt yields than
are available from fixed-rate bonds that have comparable maturities and
credit ratings. In some cases, the holder of an inverse floater may have an
option to convert the floater to a fixed-rate bond, pursuant to a "rate-lock"
option.


      Some inverse floaters have a feature known as an interest rate "cap" as
part of the terms of the investment. Investing in inverse floaters that have
interest rate caps might be part of a portfolio strategy to try to maintain a
high current yield for the Fund when the Fund has invested in inverse
floaters that expose the Fund to the risk of short-term interest rate
fluctuations. "Embedded" caps can be used to hedge a portion of the Fund's
exposure to rising interest rates. When interest rates exceed a
pre-determined rate, the cap generates additional cash flows that offset the
decline in interest rates on the inverse floater, and the hedge is
successful. However, the Fund bears the risk that if interest rates do not
rise above the pre-determined rate, the cap (which is purchased for
additional cost) will not provide additional cash flows and will expire
worthless.


[GRAPHIC OMITTED][GRAPHIC OMITTED]  Other Derivative Investments

                                    44


     . Certain derivatives, such as options, futures, indexed securities and
entering into swap agreements, can be used to increase or decrease the Fund's
exposure to changing security prices, interest rates or other factors that
affect the value of securities. However, these techniques could result in
losses to the Fund, if the Manager judges market conditions incorrectly or
employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the Fund's other
investments. These techniques can cause losses if the counterparty does not
perform its promises. An additional risk of investing in municipal securities
that are derivative investments is that their market value could be expected
to vary to a much greater extent than the market value of municipal
securities that are not derivative investments but have similar credit
quality, redemption provisions and maturities.

|X|   When-Issued and Delayed Delivery-Transactions. The Fund can purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis, and may purchase or sell such securities
on a "delayed-delivery" basis. "When-issued" or "delayed-delivery" refers to
securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market
exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery.

      When such transactions are negotiated the price (which is generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made.
Delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date. Normally
the settlement date is within six months of the purchase of municipal bonds
and notes. However, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase municipal
securities having a settlement date more than six months and possibly as long
as two years or more after the trade date. The securities are subject to
change in value from market fluctuation during the settlement period. The
value at delivery may be less than the purchase price. For example, changes
in interest rates in a direction other than that expected by the Manager
before settlement will affect the value of such securities and may cause loss
to the Fund.

      The Fund will engage in when-issued transactions in order to secure
what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of
entering into the obligation. When the Fund engages in when-issued or
delayed-delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case
may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the
Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain the security at a price and yield it
considers advantageous.

      When the Fund engages in when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions,
it does so for the purpose of acquiring or selling securities consistent with
its investment objective and policies for its portfolio or for delivery
pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, and not for the purposes
of investment leverage. Although the Fund will enter into when-issued or
delayed-delivery purchase transactions to acquire securities, the Fund may
dispose of a commitment prior to settlement. If the Fund chooses to dispose
of the right to acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition or to
dispose of its right to deliver or receive against a forward commitment, it
may incur a gain or loss.

      At the time the Fund makes a commitment to purchase or sell a security
on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, it records the transaction on
its books and reflects the value of the security purchased. In a sale
transaction, it records the proceeds to be received, in determining its net
asset value. The Fund will identify on its books liquid securities at least
equal to the value of purchase commitments until the Fund pays for the
investment.

      When-issued transactions and forward commitments can be used by the
Fund as a defensive technique to hedge against anticipated changes in
interest rates and prices. For instance, in periods of rising interest rates
and falling prices, the Fund might sell securities in its portfolio on a
forward commitment basis to attempt to limit its exposure to anticipated
falling prices. In periods of falling interest rates and rising prices, the
Fund might sell portfolio securities and purchase the same or similar
securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, to obtain the
benefit of currently higher cash yields.

|X|   Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon and delayed
interest municipal securities. Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic
interest payments and are sold at a deep discount from their face value. The
buyer recognizes a rate of return determined by the gradual appreciation of
the security, which is redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date.
This discount depends on the time remaining until maturity, as well as
prevailing interest rates, the liquidity of the security and the credit
quality of the issuer. In the absence of threats to the issuer's credit
quality, the discount typically decreases as the maturity date approaches.
Some zero-coupon securities are convertible, in that they are zero-coupon
securities until a predetermined date, at which time they convert to a
security with a specified coupon rate.

      Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and compound
semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is
generally more volatile than the value of other debt securities. Their value
may fall more dramatically than the value of interest-bearing securities when
interest rates rise. When prevailing interest rates fall, zero-coupon
securities tend to rise more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate
of return.

      The Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause the Fund to
recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives
any cash payments on the zero-coupon investment. To generate cash to satisfy
those distribution requirements, the Fund may have to sell portfolio
securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash
flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.


|X|   Puts and Standby Commitments. The Fund may acquire "stand-by
commitments" or "puts" with respect to municipal securities to enhance
portfolio liquidity and to try to reduce the average effective portfolio
maturity. These arrangements give the Fund the right to sell the securities
at a set price on demand to the issuing broker-dealer or bank. However,
securities having this feature may have a relatively lower interest rate.


      When the Fund buys a municipal security subject to a standby commitment
to repurchase the security, the Fund is entitled to same-day settlement from
the purchaser. The Fund receives an exercise price equal to the amortized
cost of the underlying security plus any accrued interest at the time of
exercise. A put purchased in conjunction with a municipal security enables
the Fund to sell the underlying security within a specified period of time at
a fixed exercise price.

      The Fund might purchase a standby commitment or put separately in cash
or it might acquire the security subject to the standby commitment or put (at
a price that reflects that additional feature). The Fund will enter into
these transactions only with banks and securities dealers that, in the
Manager's opinion, present minimal credit risks. The Fund's ability to
exercise a put or standby commitment will depend on the ability of the bank
or dealer to pay for the securities if the put or standby commitment is
exercised. If the bank or dealer should default on its obligation, the Fund
might not be able to recover all or a portion of any loss sustained from
having to sell the security elsewhere.

      Puts and standby commitments are not transferable by the Fund. They
terminate if the Fund sells the underlying security to a third party. The
Fund intends to enter into these arrangements to facilitate portfolio
liquidity, although such arrangements might enable the Fund to sell a
security at a pre-arranged price that may be higher than the prevailing
market price at the time the put or standby commitment is exercised. However,
the Fund might refrain from exercising a put or standby commitment if the
exercise price is significantly higher than the prevailing market price, to
avoid imposing a loss on the seller that could jeopardize the Fund's business
relationships with the seller.

      A put or standby commitment increases the cost of the security and
reduces the yield otherwise available from the security. Any consideration
paid by the Fund for the put or standby commitment will be reflected on the
Fund's books as unrealized depreciation while the put or standby commitment
is held, and a realized gain or loss when the put or commitment is exercised
or expires. Interest income received by the Fund from municipal securities
subject to puts or stand-by commitments may not qualify as tax exempt in its
hands if the terms of the put or stand-by commitment cause the Fund not to be
treated as the tax owner of the underlying municipal securities.

|X|   Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may acquire securities subject to
repurchase agreements. It may do so for liquidity purposes to meet
anticipated redemptions of Fund shares, or pending the investment of the
proceeds from sales of Fund shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio
securities. In a repurchase transaction, the Fund acquires a security from,
and simultaneously resells it to an approved vendor for delivery on an agreed
upon future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount
that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during
which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Approved vendors include U.S.
commercial banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks or broker-dealers that have
been designated a primary dealer in government securities, which meet the
credit requirements set by the Fund's Manager from time to time. The Manager
will monitor the vendor's creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is
financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's value. They
must meet credit requirements set by the Manager from time to time.

      The majority of these transactions run from day to day. Delivery
pursuant to resale typically will occur within one to five days of the
purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are
subject to the Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. There is no
limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to
repurchase agreements of seven days or less.

      Repurchase agreements, considered "loans" under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"), are collateralized by the
underlying security. The Fund's repurchase agreements require that at all
times while the repurchase agreement is in effect, the collateral's value
must equal or exceed the repurchase price to fully collateralize the
repayment obligation. However, if the vendor fails to pay the resale price on
the delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral
and may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so.

      Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), the Fund, along with the affiliated entities managed
by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities
pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank
until the agreements mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires that
the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of
interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party
to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.


      [GRAPHIC OMITTED][GRAPHIC OMITTED]  Borrowing for Leverage. The Fund
has the ability to invest borrowed funds in portfolio securities. This
speculative investment technique is known as "leverage." Under its
fundamental investment policies, the Fund may not borrow money, except to the
extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations
thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such
statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to
time. Currently, under the Investment Company Act, a mutual fund may borrow
only from banks and the maximum amount it may borrow is up to one-third of
its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and
indebtedness other than borrowing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
The Fund may also borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes
from any person. Under the Investment Company Act, there is a rebuttable
presumption that a loan is temporary if it is repaid within 60 days and not
extended or renewed. If the value of the Fund's assets fails to meet this
300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund will reduce its bank debt within
three days to meet the requirement. To do so, the Fund might have to sell a
portion of its investments at a disadvantageous time.


      The Fund will pay interest on these loans, and that interest expense
will raise the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns. If it
does borrow, its expenses will be greater than comparable funds that do not
borrow for leverage. Additionally, the fund's net asset value per share might
fluctuate more than that of funds that do not borrow.


      In addition, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC to
Citicorp North America, Inc. ("Citicorp"), the Fund also has the ability to
borrow, subject to the limits established by its investment policies, from
commercial paper and medium-term note conduits administered by Citicorp that
issue promissory notes to fund loans to investment companies such as the
Fund. These loans may be secured by assets of the Fund, so long as the Fund's
policies permit it to pledge its assets to secure a debt. Liquidity support
for these loans will be provided by banks obligated to make loans to the Fund
in the event the conduit or conduits are unable or unwilling to make such
loans. The Fund will have the right to prepay such loans and terminate its
participation in the conduit loan facility at any time upon prior notice. As
a borrower under a conduit loan facility, the Fund maintains rights and
remedies under state and federal law comparable to those it would maintain
with respect to a loan from a bank.

      Illiquid Securities and Restricted Securities. The Fund has percentage
limitations that apply to purchases of illiquid securities, as stated in the
Prospectus. Under the policies and procedures established by the Fund's Board
of Trustees, the Manager determines the liquidity of certain of the Fund's
investments and monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis
to determine whether to sell any holdings to meet percentage restrictions. To
enable the Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted security not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, the Fund may have to cause those securities
to be registered.  The expenses of registering restricted securities may be
negotiated by the Fund with the issuer at the time the Fund buys the
securities. When the Fund must arrange registration because the Fund wishes
to sell the security, a considerable period may elapse between the time the
decision is made to sell the security and the time the security is registered
so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would bear the risks of any downward
price fluctuation during that period.

      The Fund may also acquire restricted securities through private
placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public
resale. Those restrictions might limit the
Fund's ability to dispose of the securities and might lower the amount the
Fund could realize upon the sale.


      The Fund has limitations that apply to purchases of restricted
securities, as stated in the Prospectus. Those percentage restrictions do not
limit purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to
qualified institutional purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
1933, if those securities have been determined to be liquid by the Manager
under Board-approved guidelines. Those guidelines take into account the
trading activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing
information, among other factors.  If there is a lack of trading interest in
a particular Rule 144A security, the Fund's holdings of that security may be
considered to be illiquid. Illiquid securities include repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days.


|X|   Loans of Portfolio Securities. To attempt to raise income or raise cash
for liquidity purposes, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities to
brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Fund's
Board of Trustees. These loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value
of the Fund's total assets. There are risks in connection with securities
lending. The Fund might experience a delay in receiving additional collateral
to secure a loan, or a delay in recovery of the loaned securities. The Fund
presently does not intend to engage in loans of securities that will exceed
5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in the coming year. Income from
securities loans does not constitute exempt-interest income for the purpose
of paying tax-exempt dividends.

      The Fund must receive collateral for a loan. Under current applicable
regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), on each business day
the loan collateral must be at least equal to the value of the loaned
securities. It must consist of cash, bank letters of credit, securities of
the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, or other cash
equivalents in which the Fund is permitted to invest. To be acceptable as
collateral, letters of credit must obligate a bank to pay amounts demanded by
the Fund if the demand meets the terms of the letter. The terms of the letter
of credit and the issuing bank both must be satisfactory to the Fund.

      When it lends securities, the Fund receives amounts equal to the
dividends or interest on the loaned securities, It also receives one or more
of (a) negotiated loan fees, (b) interest on securities used as collateral,
and (c) interest on short-term debt securities purchased with the loan
collateral. Either type of interest may be shared with the borrower. The Fund
may pay reasonable finder's, administrative or other fees in connection with
these loans. The terms of the Fund's loans must meet applicable tests under
the Internal Revenue Code and must permit the Fund to reacquire loaned
securities on five days' notice or in time to vote on any important matter.

|X|   Hedging. The Fund may use hedging to attempt to protect against
declines in the market value of its portfolio, to permit the Fund to retain
unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities that have appreciated,
or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons. To do so, the
Fund may:
|_|   sell interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures,
|_|   buy puts on such futures or securities, or
         |_|      write covered calls on securities, broadly-based municipal
            bond indices, interest rate futures or municipal bond index
            futures. Covered calls may also be written on debt securities to
            attempt to increase the Fund's income, but that income would not
            be tax-exempt. Therefore it is unlikely that the Fund would write
            covered calls for that purpose.

      The Fund may also use hedging to establish a position in the debt
securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing individual debt
securities. In that case the Fund will normally seek to purchase the
securities, and then terminate that hedging position. For this type of
hedging, the Fund may:
|_|   buy interest rate futures or municipal bond index futures, or
|_|   buy calls on such futures or on securities.

      The Fund is not obligated to use hedging instruments, even though it is
permitted to use them in the Manager's discretion, as described below. The
Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be
incidental to the Fund's investment activities in the underlying cash market.
The particular hedging instruments the Fund can use are described below. The
Fund may employ new hedging instruments and strategies when they are
developed, if those investment methods are consistent with the Fund's
investment objective and are permissible under applicable regulations
governing the Fund.

|X|   Futures. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts relating to debt
securities (these are called "interest rate futures"), on individual stock
("single stock futures") and municipal bond indices (these are referred to as
"municipal bond index futures").

      An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and the
purchaser to take) cash or a specific type of debt security to settle the
futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting
contract to close out the futures position.

      Similarly, a single stock future obligates the seller to deliver (and
the purchaser to take) cash or a specified equity security to settle the
futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting
contract to close out the position. Single stock futures trade on a very
limited number of exchanges, with contracts typically not fungible among the
exchanges.

      A "municipal bond index" assigns relative values to the municipal bonds
in the index, and is used as the basis for trading long-term municipal bond
futures contracts. Municipal bond index futures are similar to interest rate
futures except that settlement is made only in cash. The obligation under the
contract may also be satisfied by entering into an offsetting contract. The
strategies which the Fund employs in using municipal bond index futures are
similar to those with regard to interest rate futures.

      Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Fund will be required to
deposit an initial margin payment in cash or U.S. government securities with
the futures commission merchant (the "futures broker"). Initial margin
payments will be deposited with the Fund's custodian bank in an account
registered in the futures broker's name. However, the futures broker can gain
access to that account only under certain specified conditions. As the future
is marked to market (that is, its value on the Fund's books is changed) to
reflect changes in its market value, subsequent margin payments, called
variation margin, will be paid to or by the futures broker daily.

      At any time prior to the expiration of the future, the Fund may elect
to close out its position by taking an opposite position at which time a
final determination of variation margin is made and additional cash is
required to be paid by or released to the Fund. Any gain or loss is then
realized by the Fund on the future for tax purposes. Although Interest Rate
Futures by their terms call for settlement by the delivery of debt
securities, in most cases the obligation is fulfilled without such delivery
by entering into an offsetting transaction. All futures transactions are
effected through a clearing house associated with the exchange on which the
contracts are traded.

      The Fund may concurrently buy and sell futures contracts in a strategy
anticipating that the future the Fund purchased will perform better than the
future the Fund sold. For example, the Fund might buy municipal bond futures
and concurrently sell U.S. Treasury Bond futures (a type of interest rate
future). The Fund would benefit if municipal bonds outperform U.S. Treasury
Bonds on a duration-adjusted basis.

      Duration is a volatility measure that refers to the expected percentage
change in the value of a bond resulting from a change in general interest
rates (measured by each 1% change in the rates on U.S. Treasury securities).
For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1%
increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the value of
the bond to decline about 3%. There are risks that this type of futures
strategy will not be successful. U.S. Treasury bonds might perform better on
a duration-adjusted basis than municipal bonds, and the assumptions about
duration that were used might be incorrect (in this case, the duration of
municipal bonds relative to U.S. Treasury Bonds might have been greater than
anticipated).

|X|   Put and Call Options. The Fund may buy and sell certain kinds of put
options (puts) and call options (calls). These strategies are described below.

|_|   Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund may write (that is, sell) call
options. The Fund's call writing is subject to a number of restrictions:
(1)   After the Fund writes a call, not more than 25% of the Fund's total
               assets may be subject to calls.

(2)   Calls the Fund sells must be listed on a securities or commodities
               exchange or quoted on NASDAQ(R), the automated quotation system
               of The Nasdaq(R)Stock Market, Inc. or traded in the
               over-the-counter market.

(3)   Each call the Fund writes must be "covered" while it is outstanding.
               That means the Fund must own the investment on which the call
               was written.
(4)   The Fund may write calls on futures contracts whether or not it owns
               them.

      When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a
premium). The Fund agrees to sell the underlying investment to a purchaser of
a corresponding call on the same security during the call period at a fixed
exercise price regardless of market price changes during the call period. The
call period is usually not more than nine months. The exercise price may
differ from the market price of the underlying security. The Fund has
retained the risk of loss that the price of the underlying security may
decline during the call period. That risk may be offset to some extent by the
premium the Fund receives. If the value of the investment does not rise above
the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being
exercised. In that case the Fund would keep the cash premium and the
investment.

      The Fund's custodian bank, or a securities depository acting for the
custodian bank, will act as the Fund's escrow agent through the facilities of
the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"), as to the investments on which the
Fund has written calls traded on exchanges, or as to other acceptable escrow
securities. In that way, no margin will be required for such transactions.
OCC will release the securities on the expiration of the calls or upon the
Fund's entering into a closing purchase transaction.

      When the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter
into an arrangement with a primary U.S. government securities dealer which
will establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right
to repurchase that OTC option. The formula price would generally be based on
a multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which
the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security
(that is, the option is "in-the-money"). When the Fund writes an OTC option,
it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on illiquid
securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option held by it, unless the
option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker. The SEC is
evaluating whether OTC options should be considered liquid securities. The
procedure described above could be affected by the outcome of that evaluation.

      To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Fund may
purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." The Fund
will then realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the net of the
amount of the option transaction costs and the premium received on the call
the Fund wrote was more or less than the price of the call the Fund purchased
to close out the transaction. A profit may also be realized if the call
lapses unexercised, because the Fund retains the underlying investment and
the premium received. Any such profits are considered short-term capital
gains for federal tax purposes, as are premiums on lapsed calls. When
distributed by the Fund they are taxable as ordinary income.

      The Fund may also write calls on futures contracts without owning the
futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at
the time the call is written, the Fund must cover the call by segregating in
escrow an equivalent dollar value of liquid assets. The Fund will segregate
additional liquid assets if the value of the escrowed assets drops below 100%
of the current value of the future. Because of this escrow requirement, in no
circumstances would the Fund's receipt of an exercise notice as to that
future put the Fund in a "short" futures position.

|_|   Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options on debt securities,
broadly-based securities indices, futures, or foreign currency options. A put
option on securities gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer
the obligation to buy, the underlying investment at the exercise price during
the option period. A put written on debt securities must be covered by
segregated liquid assets and the Fund cannot write puts if, as a result, more
than 50% of the Fund's net assets would be required to be segregated to cover
such put options.

      If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets
identified on the Fund's books. The premium the Fund receives from writing a
put represents a profit, as long as the price of the underlying investment
remains equal to or above the exercise price of the put. However, the Fund
also assumes the obligation during the option period to buy the underlying
investment from the buyer of the put at the exercise price, even if the value
of the investment falls below the exercise price.

      If a put the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a
gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred. If the
put is exercised, the Fund must fulfill its obligation to purchase the
underlying investment at the exercise price. That price will usually exceed
the market value of the investment at that time. In that case, the Fund may
incur a loss if it sells the underlying investment. That loss will be equal
to the sum of the sale price of the underlying investment and the premium
received minus the sum of the exercise price and any transaction costs the
Fund incurred.

      When writing a put option on a security, to secure its obligation to
pay for the underlying security the Fund will identify liquid assets on its
books with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the
underlying securities. The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of
investing the segregated assets or writing calls against those assets.

      As long as the Fund's obligation as the put writer continues, it may be
assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through which the put was
sold. That notice will require the Fund to take delivery of the underlying
security and pay the exercise price. The Fund has no control over when it may
be required to purchase the underlying security, since it may be assigned an
exercise notice at any time prior to the termination of its obligation as the
writer of the put. That obligation terminates upon expiration of the put. It
may also terminate if, before it receives an exercise notice, the Fund
effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing a put of the same series
as it sold. Once the Fund has been assigned an exercise notice, it cannot
effect a closing purchase transaction.

      The Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase transaction to realize
a profit on an outstanding put option it has written or to prevent the
underlying security from being put. Effecting a closing purchase transaction
will also permit the Fund to write another put option on the security, or to
sell the security and use the proceeds from the sale for other investments.
The Fund will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction
depending on whether the cost of the transaction is less or more than the
premium received from writing the put option. Any profits from writing puts
are considered short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes, and when
distributed by the Fund, are taxable as ordinary income.


|_|   Purchasing Puts and Calls. The Fund may buy calls only on securities,
broadly-based municipal bond indices, municipal bond index futures and
interest rate futures. It may also buy calls to close out a call it has
written, as discussed above. Calls the Fund buys must be listed on a
securities or commodities exchange, or quoted on NASDAQ(R), or traded in the
over-the-counter market. A call or put option may not be purchased if the
purchase would cause the value of all the Fund's put and call options to
exceed 5% of its total assets.


      When the Fund purchases a call (other than in a closing purchase
transaction), it pays a premium. For calls on securities that the Fund buys,
it has the right to buy the underlying investment from a seller of a
corresponding call on the same investment during the call period at a fixed
exercise price. The Fund benefits only if (1) the call is sold at a profit or
(2) the call is exercised when the market price of the underlying investment
is above the sum of the exercise price plus the transaction costs and premium
paid for the call. If the call is not either exercised or sold (whether or
not at a profit), it will become worthless at its expiration date. In that
case the Fund will lose its premium payment and the right to purchase the
underlying investment.

      Calls on municipal bond indices, interest rate futures and municipal
bond index futures are settled in cash rather than by delivering the
underlying investment. Gain or loss depends on changes in the securities
included in the index in question (and thus on price movements in the debt
securities market generally) rather than on changes in price of the
individual futures contract.

      The Fund may buy only those puts that relate to securities that the
Fund owns, broadly-based municipal bond indices, municipal bond index futures
or interest rate futures (whether or not the Fund owns the futures).

      When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium. The Fund then has the
right to sell the underlying investment to a seller of a corresponding put on
the same investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price. Puts on
municipal bond indices are settled in cash. Buying a put on a debt security,
interest rate future or municipal bond index future the Fund owns enables it
to protect itself during the put period against a decline in the value of the
underlying investment below the exercise price. If the market price of the
underlying investment is equal to or above the exercise price and as a result
the put is not exercised or resold, the put will become worthless at its
expiration date. In that case the Fund will lose its premium payment and the
right to sell the underlying investment. A put may be sold prior to
expiration (whether or not at a profit).

|X|   Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of hedging
instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques
that are different than what is required for normal portfolio management. If
the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market
conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce the Fund's returns.

      The Fund's option activities may affect its portfolio turnover rate and
brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by the Fund may cause
the Fund to sell related portfolio securities, thus increasing its turnover
rate. The exercise by the Fund of puts on securities will cause the sale of
underlying investments, increasing portfolio turnover. Although the decision
whether to exercise a put it holds is within the Fund's control, holding a
put might cause the Fund to sell the related investments for reasons that
would not exist in the absence of the put.

      The Fund may pay a brokerage commission each time it buys a call or
put, sells a call or put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in
connection with the exercise of a call or put. Such commissions may be higher
on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the
underlying investments. Premiums paid for options are small in relation to
the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put and call
options offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by trading in
options could result in the Fund's net asset value being more sensitive to
changes in the value of the underlying investment.

      If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised on an investment
that has increased in value, the Fund will be required to sell the investment
at the call price. It will not be able to realize any profit if the
investment has increased in value above the call price.

      There is a risk in using short hedging by selling interest rate futures
and municipal bond index futures or purchasing puts on municipal bond indices
or futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Fund's
securities. The risk is that the prices of such futures or the applicable
index will correlate imperfectly with the behavior of the cash (that is,
market) prices of the Fund's securities. It is possible for example, that
while the Fund has used hedging instruments in a short hedge, the market may
advance and the value of debt securities held in the Fund's portfolio may
decline. If that occurred, the Fund would lose money on the hedging
instruments and also experience a decline in value of its debt securities.
However, while this could occur over a brief period or to a very small
degree, over time the value of a diversified portfolio of debt securities
will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which the hedging
instruments are based.

      The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the
Fund's portfolio diverges from the securities included in the applicable
index. To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price
of debt securities being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging
instruments, the Fund may use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount
than the dollar amount of debt securities being hedged. It might do so if the
historical volatility of the prices of the debt securities being hedged is
greater than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

      The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are
subject to distortions due to differences in the natures of those markets.
All participants in the futures markets are subject to margin deposit and
maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit
requirements, investors may close out futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and
futures markets. From the point of view of speculators, the deposit
requirements in the futures markets are less onerous than margin requirements
in the securities markets. Therefore, increased participation by speculators
in the futures markets may cause temporary price distortions.

      The Fund may use hedging instruments to establish a position in the
municipal securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of
individual securities (long hedging). It is possible that the market may
decline. If the Fund then concludes not to invest in such securities because
of concerns that there may be further market decline or for other reasons,
the Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments that is not offset by
a reduction in the purchase price of the securities.

      An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides
secondary trading for options of the same series. There is no assurance that
a liquid secondary market will exist for a particular option. If the Fund
could not effect a closing purchase transaction due to a lack of a market, it
would have to hold the callable investment until the call lapsed or was
exercised. The Fund might experience losses if it could not close out a
position because of an illiquid market for a future or option.

|X|   Interest Rate Swap Transactions. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and
another party exchange their right to receive or their obligation to pay
interest on a security. For example, they may swap a right to receive
floating rate payments for fixed rate payments. The Fund enters into swaps
only on securities it owns. The Fund may not enter into swaps with respect to
more than 25% of its total assets. Also, the Fund will segregate liquid
assets (such as cash or U.S. government securities) to cover any amounts it
could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive, and
it will adjust that amount daily, as needed. Income from interest rate swaps
may be taxable.

      Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There
is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the
payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will have been greater than
those received by it. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the
counterparty will default. If the counterparty to an interest rate swap
defaults, the Fund's loss will consist of the net amount of contractual
interest payments that the Fund has not yet received. The Manager will
monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to the Fund's interest rate
swap transactions on an ongoing basis.

      The Fund will enter into swap transactions with appropriate
counterparties pursuant to master netting agreements. A master netting
agreement provides that all swaps done between the Fund and that counterparty
under the master agreement shall be regarded as parts of an integral
agreement. If on any date amounts are payable under one or more swap
transactions, the net amount payable on that date shall be paid. In addition,
the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults generally
or on one swap, the counterparty may terminate the swaps with that party.
Under master netting agreements, if there is a default resulting in a loss to
one party, that party's damages are calculated by reference to the average
cost of a replacement swap with respect to each swap. The gains and losses on
all swaps are then netted, and the result is the counterparty's gain or loss
on termination. The termination of all swaps and the netting of gains and
losses on termination is generally referred to as "aggregation."


|X|   Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments. The Commodities Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC") has eliminated limitations on futures trading
by certain regulated entities including registered investment companies and
consequently registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures
transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund claims an exclusion
from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Fund has claimed such an
exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity
Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Fund may use futures and options for hedging and
non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with its investment objective,
internal risk management guidelines adopted by the Fund's investment advisor
(as they may be amended from time to time), and as otherwise set forth in the
Fund's prospectus or this statement of additional information.


      Transactions in options by the Fund are subject to limitations
established by the option exchanges. The exchanges limit the maximum number
of options that may be written or held by a single investor or group of
investors acting in concert. Those limits apply regardless of whether the
options were written or purchased on the same or different exchanges, or are
held in one or more accounts or through one or more different exchanges or
through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of options that the Fund may
write or hold may be affected by options written or held by other entities,
including other investment companies having the same adviser as the Fund (or
an adviser that is an affiliate of the Fund's adviser). The exchanges also
impose position limits on futures transactions. An exchange may order the
liquidation of positions found to be in violation of those limits and may
impose certain other sanctions.

      Under the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases an interest
rate future or municipal bond index future, it must maintain cash or readily
marketable short-term debt instruments in an amount equal to the market value
of the investments underlying the future, less the margin deposit applicable
to it. The account must be a segregated account or accounts held by its
custodian bank.

|X|   Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. The securities the Fund
may invest in for temporary defensive purposes include the following:
|_|   short-term municipal securities;
|_|   obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies
            or instrumentalities;
|_|   corporate debt securities rated within the three highest grades by a
            nationally recognized rating agency;
|_|   commercial paper rated "A-1" by S&P, or a comparable rating by another
            nationally recognized rating agency; and
|_|   certificates of deposit of domestic banks with assets of $1 billion or
            more.

      Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund from
buying and selling investments is known as "portfolio turnover." Short-term
trading increases the rate of portfolio turnover and could increase the
Fund's transaction costs. However, the Fund ordinarily incurs little or no
brokerage expense because most of the Fund's portfolio transactions are
principal trades that do not require payment of brokerage commissions.


      The Fund ordinarily does not trade securities to achieve short-term
capital gains, because they would not be tax-exempt income. To a limited
degree, the Fund may engage in short-term trading to attempt to take
advantage of short-term market variations. It may also do so to dispose of a
portfolio security prior to its maturity. That might be done if, on the basis
of a revised credit evaluation of the issuer or other considerations, the
Fund believes such disposition advisable or it needs to generate cash to
satisfy requests to redeem Fund shares. In those cases, the Fund may realize
a capital gain or loss on its investments. The Fund's annual portfolio
turnover rate normally is not expected to exceed 100%. The Financial
Highlights table at the end of the Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio
turnover rates during the past five fiscal years.


|X|   Taxable Investments. While the Fund can invest up to 20% of its total
assets in investments that generate income subject to income taxes, it does
not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable
investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading
strategies and policies. To the extent it invests in taxable securities, the
Fund would not be able to meet its objective of providing tax exempt income
to its shareholders. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging
instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the
Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund can invest in
short-term municipal securities for defensive purposes.

Investment Restrictions

|X|   What Are "Fundamental Policies?" Fundamental policies are those
policies that the Fund has adopted to govern its investments that can be
changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting
securities. Under the Investment Company Act, such a "majority" vote is
defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

|_|   67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a
            shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
            outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or
|_|   more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies
described in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information are
"fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Fund's Board of
Trustees can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval.
However, significant changes to investment policies will be described in
supplements or updates to the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional
Information, as appropriate. The Fund's most significant investment policies
are described in the Prospectus.

|X|   Does the Fund Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund:

|_|   The Fund cannot make loans, except to the extent permitted under the
Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption
therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or
regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

|_|   The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the
Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption
therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or
regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


|_|   The Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one
industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities or securities issued by
investment companies. Nor does that limit apply to municipal securities in
general or to California Municipal Securities.


|_|   The Fund cannot invest in real estate, physical commodities or
commodity contracts, except to the extent permitted under the Investment
Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom,
as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time
to time.


|_|   The Fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the
extent that
a Fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, when reselling securities held in its own portfolio.

|_|   The Fund cannot issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted
under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any
exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or
interpreted from time to time.


      Unless the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information states
that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at
the time the Fund makes an investment (except in the case of borrowing and
investments in illiquid securities). In that case the Fund need not sell
securities to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment
increases in proportion to the size of the Fund.

Non-Diversification of the Fund's Investments. The Fund is "non-diversified"
as defined in the Investment Company Act. Funds that are diversified have
restrictions against investing too much of their assets in the securities of
any one "issuer." That means that the Fund can invest more of its assets in
the securities of a single issuer than a fund that is diversified.

      Being non-diversified poses additional investment risks, because if the
Fund invests more of its assets in fewer issuers, the value of its shares is
subject to greater fluctuations from adverse conditions affecting any one of
those issuers. However, the Fund does limit its investments in the securities
of any one issuer to qualify for tax purposes as a "regulated investment
company" under the Internal Revenue Code. By qualifying, it does not have to
pay federal income taxes if more than 90% of its earnings are distributed to
shareholders. To qualify, the Fund must meet a number of conditions. First,
not more than 25% of the market value of the Fund's total assets may be
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Second, with respect to 50% of
the market value of its total assets, (1) no more than 5% of the market value
of its total assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer, and
(2) the Fund must not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of a single issuer.

      The identification of the issuer of a municipal security depends on the
terms and conditions of the security. When the assets and revenues of an
agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are
separate from those of the government creating it and the security is backed
only by the assets and revenues of the subdivision, agency, authority or
instrumentality, the latter would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly,
if an industrial development bond is backed only by the assets and revenues
of the non-governmental user, then that user would be deemed to be the sole
issuer. However, if in either case the creating government or some other
entity guarantees a security, the guarantee would be considered a separate
security and would be treated as an issue of such government or other entity.

Applying the Restriction Against Concentration. To implement its policy not
to concentrate its investments, the Fund has adopted the industry
classifications set forth in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional
Information. Those industry classifications are not a fundamental policy.

      In implementing the Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments,
the Manager will consider a non-governmental user of facilities financed by
industrial development bonds as being in a particular industry. That is done
even though the bonds are municipal securities, as to which the Fund has no
concentration limitation. Although this application of the concentration
restriction is not a fundamental policy of the Fund, it will not be changed
without shareholder approval.


|X|   Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental?  The
following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

|_|   The Fund cannot invest in securities of other investment companies,
except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules
and regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules
and regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings.  The Fund has adopted policies and
procedures concerning the dissemination of information by employees, officers
and/or directors of the Investment Advisor, Distributor, and Transfer Agent.
These policies are designed to assure that non-public information about
portfolio securities is distributed only for a legitimate business purpose,
and is done in a manner that (a) conforms to applicable laws and regulations
and (b) is designed to prevent that information from being used in a way that
could negatively affect the Fund's investment program or enable third parties
to use that information in a manner that is harmful to the Fund.

o     Public Disclosure. The Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly
      available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund's
      fiscal quarters in semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, or
      in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are publicly
      available at the SEC. In addition, the top 10 or more holdings are
      posted on the OppenheimerFunds' website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com in
      the "Fund Profiles" section. Other general information about the Fund's
      portfolio investments, such as portfolio composition by asset class,
      industry, country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be
      posted with a 15-day lag.

      Until publicly disclosed, the Fund's portfolio holdings are
proprietary, confidential business information. While recognizing the
importance of providing Fund shareholders with information about their Fund's
investments and providing portfolio information to a variety of third parties
to assist with the management, distribution and administrative process, the
need for transparency must be balanced against the risk that third parties
who gain access to the Fund's portfolio holdings information could attempt to
use that information to trade ahead of or against the Fund, which could
negatively affect the prices the Fund is able to obtain in portfolio
transactions or the availability of the securities that portfolio managers
are trading on the Fund's behalf.

      The Fund, the Manager and its subsidiaries and affiliates, employees,
officers, and directors, shall neither solicit nor accept any compensation or
other consideration (including any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund
or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Manager or any
affiliated person of the Manager) in connection with the disclosure of the
Fund's non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees
or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and their subsidiaries
pursuant to agreements approved by the Fund's Board shall not be deemed to be
"compensation" or "consideration" for these purposes.  It is a violation of
the Code of Ethics for any covered person to release holdings in
contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures
adopted by the Fund.

      A list of the top 10 or more portfolio securities holdings (based on
                        ----------
invested assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each
month may be disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no
sooner than 15 days after month-end.

      Except under special limited circumstances discussed below, month-end
lists of the Fund's complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed no sooner
than 30-days after the relevant month-end, subject to the procedures below.
If the Fund's complete portfolio holdings have not been disclosed publicly,
they may be disclosed pursuant to special requests for legitimate business
reasons, provided that:

o     The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of
      Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;
o     Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the Manager's
      Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed request for
      release of Fund portfolio holdings; and
o     The third-party recipient must sign the Manager's portfolio holdings
      non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data, agreeing to keep
      information that is not publicly available regarding the Fund's
      holdings confidential and agreeing not to trade directly or indirectly
      based on the information.

      The Fund's complete portfolio holdings positions may be released to the
      following categories of entities or individuals on an ongoing basis,
      provided that such entity or individual either (1) has signed an
      agreement to keep such information confidential and not trade on the
      basis of such information or (2) is subject to fiduciary obligations,
      as a member of the Fund's Board, or as an employee, officer and/or
      director of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, or their
      respective legal counsel, not to disclose such information except in
      conformity with these policies and procedures and not to trade for
      his/her personal account on the basis of such information:

o     Employees of the Fund's Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent who
      need to have access to such information (as determined by senior
      officers of such entity),
o     The Fund's certified public accountants and independent registered
      public accounting firm,
o     Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,
o     The Fund's custodian bank,
o     A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,
o     Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),
o     Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio
      security prices, and
o     Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations, if securities are not priced
      by the Fund's regular pricing services).

      Portfolio holdings information of a Fund may be provided, under limited
circumstances, to brokers and/or dealers with whom the Fund trades and/or
entities that provide investment coverage and/or analytical information
regarding the Fund's portfolio, provided that there is a legitimate
investment reason for providing the information to the broker, dealer or
other entity.  Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this
procedure, be provided to vendors providing research information and/or
analytics to the fund, with at least a 15-day delay after the month end, but
in certain cases may be provided to a broker or analytical vendor with a 1- 2
day lag to facilitate the provision of requested investment information to
the manager to facilitate a particular trade or the portfolio manager's
investment process for the Fund.  Any third party receiving such information
must first sign the Manager's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement as
a pre-condition to receiving this information.

      Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on
individual securities positions or multiple securities) may be provided to
the entities listed below (1) by portfolio traders employed by the Manager in
connection with portfolio trading, and (2) by the members of the Manager's
Security Valuation Group and Accounting Departments in connection with
portfolio pricing or other portfolio evaluation purposes:

o     Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions
      (purchases and sales)
o     Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if
      securities held by the Fund are not priced by the fund's regular
      pricing services)
o     Dealers to obtain price quotations where the Fund is not identified as
      the owner

      Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on the
Fund's entire portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by
senior officers of the Manager or attorneys on the legal staff of the
Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following circumstances:

o     Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to
      subpoenas or in class action matters where the Fund may be part of the
      plaintiff class (and seeks recovery for losses on a security) or a
      defendant,
o     Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, NASD, state
      securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities, including
      without limitation requests for information in inspections or for
      position reporting purposes),
o     To potential sub-advisors of portfolios (pursuant to confidentiality
      agreements),
o     To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at
      due diligence meetings (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),
o     Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (pursuant to
      confidentiality agreements)

      Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Manager's policies
on communications with the press and other media, discuss portfolio
information in interviews with members of the media, or in due diligence or
similar meetings with clients or prospective purchasers of Fund shares or
their financial intermediary representatives.

      The Fund's shareholders may, under unusual circumstances (such as a
lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions), receive
redemption proceeds of their Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of
securities held in the Fund's portfolio.  In such circumstances, disclosure
of the Fund's portfolio holdings may be made to such shareholders.

      The Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund and the Manager, Distributor,
and Transfer Agent (the "CCO") shall oversee the compliance by the Manager,
Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with these policies and
procedures. At least annually, the CCO shall report to the Fund's Board on
such compliance oversight and on the categories of entities and individuals
to which disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Fund has been made during
the preceding year pursuant to these policies. The CCO shall report to the
Fund's Board any material violation of these policies and procedures during
the previous calendar quarter and shall make recommendations to the Board as
to any amendments that the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry
out or improve these policies and procedures.

      The Manager and/or the Fund have entered into ongoing arrangements to
make available information about the Fund's portfolio holdings.  One or more
of the Oppenheimer funds may currently disclose portfolio holdings
information based on ongoing arrangements to the following parties:

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, non-diversified management
investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of
beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
in July 1988.


|X|   Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder
approval, to create new series and classes of shares. The Trustees may
reclassify unissued shares of the Fund into additional series or classes of
shares. The Trustees also may divide or combine the shares of a class into a
greater or lesser number of shares without changing the proportionate
beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not have
cumulative voting rights, preemptive rights or subscription rights. Shares
may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.


      The Fund currently has three classes of shares: Class A, Class B and
Class C. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Each class of
shares:
o     has its own dividends and distributions,
o     pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o     may have a different net asset value,
o     may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one
         class are different from interests of another class, and
o     votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

      Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one
vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on
matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund
represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of
each other share of the same class.


|X|   Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund
is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold, regular annual meetings
of shareholders, but may hold shareholder meetings from time to time on
important matters or when required to do so by the Investment Company Act or
other applicable law. Shareholders have the right, upon a vote or declaration
in writing of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a
Trustee or to take other action described in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.


      The Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal
of a Trustee upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its
outstanding shares. If the Trustees receive a request from at least 10
shareholders stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders to
request a meeting to remove a Trustee, the Trustees will then either make the
Fund's shareholder list available to the applicants or mail their
communication to all other shareholders at the applicants' expense. The
shareholders making the request must have been shareholders for at least six
months and must hold shares of the Fund valued at $25,000 or more or
constituting at least 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Trustees may
also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

|X|   Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Fund's Declaration of Trust
contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the
Fund's obligations. It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of the Fund's property for any shareholder held personally
liable for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also states that upon
request, the Fund shall assume the defense of any claim made against a
shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and shall satisfy any
judgment on that claim. Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business
trust (such as the Fund) to be held personally liable as a "partner" under
certain circumstances. However, the risk that a Fund shareholder will incur
financial loss from being held liable as a "partner" of the Fund is limited
to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to
meet its obligations.

      The Fund's contractual arrangements state that any person doing
business with the Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its
Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Fund for
satisfaction of any claim or demand that may arise out of any dealings with
the Fund. Additionally, the Trustees shall have no personal liability to any
such person, to the extent permitted by law.

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board
of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of
shareholders under Massachusetts law. The Trustees meet periodically
throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance,
and review the actions of the Manager.


      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee, a Regulatory & Oversight
Committee, a Governance Committee and a Proxy Committee. The Audit Committee
is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The members of the Audit
Committee are Joel W. Motley (Chairman), Kenneth A. Randall,  Mary F. Miller
and Joseph M. Wikler. The Audit Committee held 6 meetings during the Fund's
fiscal year ended July 31, 2005. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with
recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent registered
public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors").
Other main functions of the Audit Committee outlined in the Audit Committee
Charter, include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results
of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing
reports from the Fund's independent Auditors regarding  the Fund's internal
accounting procedures and controls; (iii)  reviewing reports from the
Manager's Internal Audit Department: (iv) maintaining a separate line of
communication between the Fund's independent Auditors and the Trustees who
are not "interested persons" under the Investment Company Act (the
"Independent Trustees"); (v) reviewing the independence of the Fund's
independent Auditors; (vi) pre-approving the provision of any non-audit
services by the Fund's independent Auditors, including tax services, that are
not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Fund, the Manager and
certain affiliates of the Manager.

      The Audit Committee's functions also include selecting and nominating,
to the full Board, nominees for election as Trustees, and selecting and
nominating Independent Trustees for election.  The Audit Committee may, but
need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its
affiliates in selecting nominees. The full Board elects new Trustees except
for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

      To date, the Audit Committee has been able to identify from its own
resources an ample number of qualified candidates. Nonetheless, shareholders
may submit names of individuals for the Audit Committee's consideration by
mailing such information, accompanied by complete and properly supported
resumes, to the Audit Committee in care of the Fund. The Audit Committee may
consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees.
The Audit Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the
candidates to present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets for the
purpose of considering potential nominees.

Oppenheimer International Large Cap
Core Fund                                Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust

Fund


      In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board I Funds, Mr.
Galli is also a director or trustee of 10 other portfolios in the
OppenheimerFunds complex.


      Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and
their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates,
and retirement plans established by them for their employees are permitted to
purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds at net
asset value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A shares is
waived for that group because of the reduced sales efforts realized by the
Distributor.

      Messrs. Fielding, Gillespie, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Vottiero,
Wixted and Zack, and Mses. Bloomberg and Ives respectively hold the same
offices with one or more of the other Board I Funds. As of October __, 2005,
the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of record or
beneficially less than 1% of each class of shares of the Fund. The foregoing
statement does not reflect ownership of shares of the Fund held of record by
an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares
beneficially owned under the plan by the officers of the Fund listed above.
In addition, none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate
family members) own securities of either the Manager or Distributor of the
Board I Funds or any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by
or under common control with the Manager or Distributor.

|X|   Affiliated Transactions and Material Business Relationships. Mr.
Reynolds has reported he has a controlling interest in The Directorship
Group, Inc. (the "Directorship Group"), a director recruiting firm that
provided consulting services to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
(which controls the Manager) for fees of $137,500 for calendar year ended
December 31, 2002. Mr. Reynolds reported that The Directorship Group did not
provide consulting services to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
during the calendar year ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, and does not
expect to provide any such services in the calendar year ending December 31,
2005.

      The Independent Trustees have unanimously (except for Mr. Reynolds, who
abstained) determined that the consulting arrangements between the
Directorship Group and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company were not
material business or professional relationships that would compromise Mr.
Reynolds's status as an Independent Trustee. Nonetheless, to assure certainty
as to determinations of the Board and the Independent Trustees as to matters
upon which the Investment Company Act or the rules thereunder require
approval by a majority of Independent Trustees, Mr. Reynolds will not be
counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum of Independent Trustees
was present or whether a majority of Independent Trustees approved the matter.

      Biographical Information. The Trustees and officers, their positions
with the Fund, length of service in such position(s) and principal
occupations and business affiliations during the past five years are listed
in the charts below. The information for each Trustee also includes the
dollar range of shares beneficially owned in the Fund and the aggregate
dollar range of shares beneficially owned in all funds in the Oppenheimer
family of funds that are overseen by the Trustee ("Supervised Funds"). The
address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way, Centennial,
CO 80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until his or her
resignation, retirement, death or removal. Ms. Miller was elected to certain
Board I Funds during 2004 and did not hold shares of Board I Funds during the
calendar year ended December 31, 2004. Mr. Fink was elected to the Board I
Funds in 2005 and did not hold shares of Board I Funds during the calendar
year ended December 31, 2004.

|X|   Retirement Plan for Trustees. The Fund has adopted a retirement plan
that provides for payments to retired Independent Trustees. Payments are up
to 80% of the average compensation paid during a Trustee's five years of
service in which the highest compensation was received. A Trustee must serve
as trustee for any of the Board I Funds for at least seven years in order to
be eligible for retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years
to be eligible for the maximum benefit. The amount of retirement benefits a
Trustee will receive  depends on the amount of the Trustee's compensation,
including future compensation and the length of his or her service on the
Board.

|X|   Deferred Compensation Plan. The Board of Trustees has adopted a
Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees that enables them to
elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are
entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan, the compensation deferred
by a Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been
invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee.
The amount paid to the Trustee under the plan is determined based upon the
amount of compensation deferred and the performance of the selected funds.

      Deferral of the Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially
affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net income per share. The plan will
not obligate the Fund to retain the services of any Trustee or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Trustee. Pursuant to an Order issued
by the SEC, the Fund may invest in the funds selected by the Trustee under
the plan without shareholder approval for the limited purpose of determining
the value of the Trustee's deferred compensation account.

      |X|   Code of Ethics. The Fund, the Manager and the Distributor have a
Code of Ethics. It is designed to detect and prevent improper personal
trading by certain employees, including portfolio managers, that would
compete with or take advantage of the Fund's portfolio transactions. Covered
persons include persons with knowledge of the investments and investment
intentions of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Code of
Ethics does permit personnel subject to the Code to invest in securities,
including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, subject to a
number of restrictions and controls. Compliance with the Code of Ethics is
carefully monitored and enforced by the Manager.

      The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public
Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours
of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at

|X|   Portfolio Proxy Voting. The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting
Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies relating to
securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund. The Fund's primary
consideration in voting portfolio proxies is the financial interests of the
Fund and its shareholders. The Fund has retained an unaffiliated third-party
as its agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with the Fund's
Portfolio Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio
proxy voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines include provisions to address
conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund and the Manager where a
directly-controlled affiliate of the Manager manages or administers the
assets of a pension plan of a company soliciting the proxy. The Fund's
Portfolio Proxy Voting Guidelines on routine and non-routine proxy proposals
are summarized below.


o     The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on
            routine matters, including election of directors nominated by
            management and ratification of auditors, unless circumstances
            indicate otherwise.

o     In general, the Fund opposes "anti-takeover" proposals and supports
            elimination of anti-takeover proposals, absent unusual
            circumstances.

o     The Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote
            requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a
            super-majority vote requirement.
o     The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.
o     The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.
o     The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.
o     The Fund generally considers executive compensation questions such as
            stock option plans and bonus plans to be ordinary business
            activity. The Fund analyzes stock option plans, paying particular
            attention to their dilutive effect. While the Fund generally
            supports management proposals, the Fund opposes plans it
            considers to be excessive.

      The Fund is required to file new Form N-PX, with its complete proxy
voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of
each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon
request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and (ii) on the
SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
                 -----------

      |X|   The Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager provides
investment advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment
advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects
securities for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to day business. That
agreement requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund with
adequate office space, facilities and equipment. It also requires the Manager
to provide and supervise the activities of all administrative and clerical
personnel required to provide effective corporate administration for the
Fund. Those responsibilities include the compilation and maintenance of
records with respect to the Fund's operations, the preparation and filing of
specified reports, and the composition of proxy materials and registration
statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.

      The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the
advisory agreement. The investment advisory agreement lists examples of
expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to interest, taxes,
fees to Independent Trustees, legal and audit expenses, custodian and
transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and
registration costs, brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses,
including litigation cost. The management fees paid by the Fund to the
Manager are calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus, which are
applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole. The fees are allocated to each
class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the Fund's net assets
represented by that class. The management fees paid by the Fund to the
Manager during its last three fiscal years are listed below.

      The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or
reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under the investment
advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss the Fund sustains
for any investment, adoption of any investment policy or the purchase, sale
or retention of any security.

      The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment advisor for any
other person, firm or corporation and to use the name "Oppenheimer" in
connection with other investment companies for which it may act as investment
advisor or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as
investment advisor to the Fund, the Manager may withdraw the Fund's right to
use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.


Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Ronald H. Fielding and
a team of investment professionals including Daniel G. Loughran, Scott
Cottier and Troy Willis (each is referred to as a "Portfolio Manager" and
collectively they are referred to as the "Portfolio Managers") who are
responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

     Other Accounts Managed.  In addition to managing the Fund's investment
portfolio, Messrs. Fielding, Loughran, Cottier and Willis also manage other
investment portfolios and other accounts on behalf of the Manager or its
affiliates. The following table provides information regarding the other
portfolios and accounts managed by Messrs. Fielding, Loughran, Cottier and
Willis as of July 31, 2005.  No account has a performance-based advisory fee:

       *  In millions.

      As indicated above, the Portfolio Managers also manage other funds and
accounts.  Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with
the interests of the Fund.  That may occur whether the investment objectives
and strategies of the other funds and accounts are the same as, or different
from, the Fund's investment objectives and strategies.  For example the
Portfolio Managers may need to allocate investment opportunities between the
Fund and another fund or account having similar objectives or strategies, or
they may need to execute transactions for another fund or account that could
have a negative impact on the value of securities held by the Fund.  Not all
funds and accounts advised by the Manager have the same management fee.  If
the management fee structure of another fund or account is more advantageous
to the Manager than the fee structure of the Fund, the Manager could have an
incentive to favor the other fund or account.  However, the Manager's
compliance procedures and Code of Ethics recognize the Manager's fiduciary
obligation to treat all of its clients, including the Fund, fairly and
equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Managers from favoring
one client over another. It is possible, of course, that those compliance
procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always be adequate to do so. At
different times, the Fund's Portfolio Managers may manage other funds or
accounts with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the
Fund, or they may manage funds or accounts with different investment
objectives and strategies.

     Compensation of the Portfolio Managers.  The Fund's Portfolio Managers
are employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the
Manager's compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio
analysts, their compensation is based primarily on the investment performance
results of the funds and accounts they manage, rather than on the financial
success of the Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers' and
analysts' interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their
investors.  The Manager's compensation structure is designed to attract and
retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward
individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value.  As of
July 31, 2005, the Portfolio Managers' compensation consisted of three
elements: a base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to
participate in long-term awards of options and appreciation rights in regard
to the common stock of the Manager's holding company parent.  Senior
portfolio managers may also be eligible to participate in the Manager's
deferred compensation plan.

     The base pay component of each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly
to ensure that it reflects the performance of the individual, is commensurate
with the requirements of the particular portfolio, reflects any specific
competence or specialty of the individual manager, and is competitive with
other comparable positions, to help the Manager attract and retain talent.
The annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the
Manager and is based on a number of factors, including a fund's pre-tax
performance for periods of up to five years, measured against an appropriate
benchmark selected by management.  The Lipper benchmark with respect to the
Fund is Lipper - California Municipal Debt Funds.  Other factors include
management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector
coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The
Portfolio Managers' compensation is not based on the total value of the
Fund's portfolio assets, although the Fund's investment performance may
increase those assets. The compensation structure is also intended to be
internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest
between the Fund and other funds managed by the Portfolio Managers.  The
compensation structure of the other funds managed by the Portfolio Managers
is the same as the compensation structure of the Fund, described above.

      Ownership of Fund Shares.  As of July 31, 2005, the Portfolio
Managers did not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.


Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement. One of the duties
of the Manager under the investment advisory agreement is to buy and sell
portfolio securities for the Fund. The investment advisory agreement allows
the Manager to use broker-dealers to effect the Fund's portfolio
transactions. The Manager is authorized by the advisory agreement to employ
broker-dealers, including, as that term is defined in the Investment Company
Act) that, in the Manager's best judgment based on all relevant factors, will
implement the Fund's policy to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best
execution" of portfolio transactions. "Best execution" refers to prompt and
reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable. The Manager need
not seek competitive commission bidding. However, the Manager is expected to
minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interest and
policies of the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.

      Under the investment advisory agreement, in choosing brokers to execute
portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager may select brokers (other
than affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services to the Fund
and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates have
investment discretion. The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher
than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith
determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the
services provided.


      Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits any fund from
compensating a broker or dealer for promoting or selling the fund's shares by
(1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund's portfolio
transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to that broker or
dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees from the
fund's portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker or dealer
(these latter arrangements are considered to be a type of "step-out"
transaction). In other words, a fund and its investment advisor cannot use
the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers for selling
the fund's shares.

      However, the Rule permits funds to effect brokerage transactions
through firms that also sell fund shares, provided that certain procedures
are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo with respect to portfolio brokerage
allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has adopted procedures
(and the Fund's Board of Trustees has approved those procedures) that permit
the Fund to direct portfolio securities transactions to brokers or dealers
that also promote or sell shares of the Fund, subject to the "best execution"
considerations discussed above. Those procedures are designed to prevent: (1)
the Manager's personnel who effect the Fund's portfolio transactions from
taking into account a broker's or dealer's promotion or sales of the Fund
shares when allocating the Fund's portfolio transactions, and (2) the Fund,
the Manager and the Distributor from entering into agreements or
understandings under which the Manager directs or is expected to direct the
Fund's brokerage directly, or through a "step-out" arrangement, to any broker
or dealer in consideration of that broker's or dealer's promotion or sale of
the Fund's shares or the shares of any of the other Oppenheimer funds.


Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage
for the Fund subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreement
and the procedures and rules described above. Generally the Manager's
portfolio traders allocate brokerage upon recommendations from the Manager's
portfolio managers. In certain instances, portfolio managers may directly
place trades and allocate brokerage. In either case, the Manager's executive
officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

      Most securities purchases made by the Fund are in principal
transactions at net prices. The Fund usually deals directly with the selling
or purchasing principal or market maker without incurring charges for the
services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager determines that a
better price or execution may be obtained by using the services of a broker.
Therefore, the Fund does not incur substantial brokerage costs. Portfolio
securities purchased from underwriters include a commission or concession
paid by the issuer to the underwriter in the price of the security. Portfolio
securities purchased from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked
price.

      The Fund seeks to obtain prompt execution of orders at the most
favorable net prices. In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the
same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the
investment to which the option relates. Other funds advised by the Manager
have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund. Those
other funds may purchase or sell the same securities as the Fund at the same
time as the Fund, which could affect the supply and price of the securities.
When possible, the Manager tries to combine concurrent orders to purchase or
sell the same security by more than one of the accounts managed by the
Manager or its affiliates. The transactions under those combined orders are
averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale
orders actually placed for each account.

      The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate
brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a
particular broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory accounts
of the Manager and its affiliates. Investment research received by the
Manager for the commissions paid by those other accounts may be useful both
to the Fund and one or more of the Manager's other accounts. Investment
research services may be supplied to the Manager by a third party at the
instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

      Investment research services include information and analyses on
particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and
portfolio strategy, market quotations for portfolio evaluations, information
systems, computer hardware and similar products and services. If a research
service also assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as
bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or
component that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment
decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

      The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and
supplement the research activities of the Manager. That research provides
additional views and comparisons for consideration and helps the Manager to
obtain market information for the valuation of securities that are either
held in the Fund's portfolio or are being considered for purchase. The
Manager provides information to the Board of the Fund about the commissions
paid to brokers furnishing such services, together with the Manager's
representation that the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to
the value or benefit of such services.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the
Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public
offering of the Fund's classes of shares. The Distributor bears the expenses
normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost of
printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing
shareholders. The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of
shares.

      The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the contingent deferred sales charges
retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class
A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares
under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund
pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in connection
with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the particular class.
Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the Independent Trustees(1), cast in person at a meeting called
for the purpose of voting on that plan.

      Under the Plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to
affiliates. In their sole discretion, they may also from time to time make
substantial payments from their own resources, which include the profits the
Manager derives from the advisory fees it receives from the Fund, to
compensate brokers, dealers, financial institutions and other intermediaries
for providing distribution assistance and/or administrative services or that
otherwise promote sales of the Fund's shares. These payments, some of which
may be referred to as "revenue sharing," may relate to the Fund's inclusion
on a financial intermediary's preferred list of funds offered to its clients.

      Financial intermediaries, brokers and dealers may receive other
payments from the Distributor or the Manager from their own resources in
connection with the promotion and/or sale of shares of the Fund, including
payments to defray expenses incurred in connection with educational seminars
and meetings. The Manager or Distributor may share expenses incurred by
financial intermediaries in conducting training and educational meetings
about aspects of the Fund for employees of the intermediaries or for hosting
client seminars or meetings at which the Fund is discussed. In their sole
discretion, the Manager and/or the Distributor may increase or decrease the
amount of payments they make from their own resources for these purposes.

      Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in
effect from year to year but only if the Fund's Board of Trustees and its
Independent Trustees specifically vote annually to approve its continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the
vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders
of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding
shares of that class.

      The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all
material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount
of payments to be made under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the
class affected by the amendment. Because Class B shares of the Fund
automatically convert into Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the Fund
must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a
proposed material amendment to the Class A plan that would materially
increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a majority of the
shares of each class, voting separately by class.

      While the plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide
separate written reports on the plans to the Board of Trustees at least
quarterly for its review. The reports shall detail the amount of all payments
made under a plan, and the purpose for which the payments were made. Those
reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

      Each plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and
nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of
the Fund is committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees. This
does not prevent the involvement of others in the selection and nomination
process as long as the final decision as to selection or nomination is
approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

      Under the plans for a class, no payment will be made to any recipient
in any quarter in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares of
that class held by the recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed
a minimum amount, if any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of
the Independent Trustees.


|X|   Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the
Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions (they are referred to as
"recipients") for personal services and account maintenance services they
provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. The services include,
among others, answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in
establishing and maintaining accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's
investment plans available and providing other services at the request of the
Fund or the Distributor. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to
the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of
Class A shares. The Board has set the rate at that level. The Distributor
does not receive or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for
which the Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. While
the plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to
reimburse itself for services under the plan, the Board has not yet done so.
The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients quarterly at an annual rate
not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A
shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

      For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 payments under the Class A plan
totaled $1,139,564, all of which all was paid by the Distributor to
recipients, and included $42,791 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's
parent company. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect
to Class A shares for any fiscal year may not be recovered in subsequent
years. The Distributor may not use payments received under the Class A plan
to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, other financial costs,
or allocation of overhead.


      |X|   Class B and Class C Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under
each plan, distribution and service fees are computed on the average of the
net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close
of each regular business day during the period. Each plan provides for the
Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's
distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund
under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of
services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under
the Class A service plan, described above.


      Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fee on shares or to pay recipients the service fee on
a quarterly basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the
first year after Class B and Class C shares are purchased. After the first
year shares are outstanding, after their purchase, the Distributor makes
service fee payments 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 B or Class C shares 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 made on those shares. Class B or Class C
shares may not be purchased by an investor directly from the Distributor
without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer.  If the
investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing
account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of
record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to
purchase the shares.  In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based
sales charge paid on Class B and Class C shares, but does not retain any
service fees as to the assets represented by that account.


      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
Class C expenses by 1.00% of the net assets per year of the respective
classes.

      The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B shares.
The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during
the first year the shares are outstanding. It pays the asset-based sales
charge as an ongoing concession to the recipient on Class C shares
outstanding for a year or more. If a dealer has a special agreement with the
Distributor, the Distributor will pay the Class B and/or Class C service fee
and the asset-based sales charge to the dealer quarterly in lieu of paying
the sales concession and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

      The asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C shares allows
investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the
Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the
asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing Class B and Class C shares. The payments are made to the
Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:
o     pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of
         sale and pays service fees as described above,
o     may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the
         service fee payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide
         such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an
         affiliate,
o     employs personnel to support distribution of Class B and Class C
         shares,
o     bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses
         (other than those furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue
         sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses,
o     may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B and
         Class C shares without receiving payment under the plans and
         therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent the
         plans,
o     receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and
         asset-based sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that
         charge 12b-1 fees,
o     may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various
         third-party distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund
         shares,
o     may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if
         payments under the plan are discontinued because most competitor
         funds have plans that pay dealers for rendering distribution
         services as much or more than the amounts currently being paid by
         the Fund, and
o     may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost,
         the same quality distribution sales efforts and services, or to
         obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan payments
         were to be discontinued.


      During a calendar year, the Distributor's actual expenses in selling
Class B and Class C shares may be more than the payments it receives from the
contingent deferred sales charges collected on redeemed shares and from the
asset-based sales charges paid to the Distributor by the Fund under the
distribution and service plans. Those excess expenses are carried over on the
Distributor's books and may be recouped from asset-based sales charge
payments from the Fund in future years. However, the Distributor has
voluntarily agreed to cap the amount of expenses under the plans that may be
carried over from year to year and recouped that relate to (i) expenses the
Distributor has incurred that represent compensation and expenses of its
sales personnel and (ii) other direct distribution costs it has incurred,
such as sales literature, state registration fees, advertising and
prospectuses used to offer Fund shares. The cap on the carry-over of those
categories of expenses is set at 0.70% of annual gross sales of shares of the
Fund. If those categories of expenses exceed the capped amount, the
Distributor bears the excess costs. If the Class B or Class C plan were to be
terminated by the Fund, the Fund's Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to
continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for
distributing shares prior to the termination of the plan.

Performance of the Fund


Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its performance. These terms include "standardized yield,"
"tax-equivalent yield," "dividend yield," "average annual total return,"
"cumulative total return," "average annual total return at net asset value"
and "total return at net asset value." An explanation of how yields and total
returns are calculated is set forth below. The charts below show the Fund's
performance as of the Fund's most recent fiscal year end. You can obtain
current performance information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at
1.800.525.7048 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com.


      The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must
comply with rules of the SEC. Those rules describe the types of performance
data that may be used and how it is to be calculated. In general, any
advertisement by the Fund of its performance data must include the average
annual total returns for the advertised class of shares of the Fund.

      Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to
compare the Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same
periods. However, a number of factors should be considered before using the
Fund's performance information as a basis for comparison with other
investments:
o     Yields and total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical
         account in the Fund over various periods and do not show the
         performance of each shareholder's account. Your account's
         performance will vary from the model performance data if your
         dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the
         period, or you bought your shares at a different time and price than
         the shares used in the model.
o     The Fund's performance returns may not reflect the effect of taxes on
         dividends and capital gains distributions.
o     An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other
         government agency.
o     The principal value of the Fund's shares, and its yields and total
         returns are not guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily
         basis.
o     When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less
         than their original cost.
o     Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical
         performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a
         prediction of future yields or returns.

      The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because
the performance of each class of shares will usually be different. That is
because of the different kinds of expenses each class bears. The yields and
total returns of each class of shares of the Fund are affected by market
conditions, the quality of the Fund's investments, the maturity of those
investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

|X|   Yields. The Fund uses a variety of different yields to illustrate its
current returns. Each class of shares calculates its yield separately because
of the different expenses that affect each class.
o     Standardized Yield. The "standardized yield" (sometimes referred to
just as "yield") is shown for a class of shares for a stated 30-day period.
It is not based on actual distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders in
the 30-day period, but is a hypothetical yield based upon the net investment
income from the Fund's portfolio investments for that period. It may
therefore differ from the "dividend yield" for the same class of shares,
described below.

      Standardized yield is calculated using the following formula set forth
in rules adopted by the SEC, designed to assure uniformity in the way that
all funds calculate their yields:

 Standardized Yield = 2a-b +1)(6) -1]
                       ---
                     [(
                       cd

      The symbols above represent the following factors:
      a =  dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period.
      b =  expenses accrued for the period (net of any expense assumptions).
      c =  the average daily number of shares of that class outstanding
           during the 30-day period that were entitled to receive dividends.
      d =  the maximum offering price per share of that class on the last day
           of the period, adjusted for undistributed net investment income.

   The standardized yield for a particular 30-day period may differ from the
   yield for other periods. The SEC formula assumes that the standardized
   yield for a 30-day period occurs at a constant rate for a six-month period
   and is annualized at the end of the six-month period. Additionally,
   because each class of shares is subject to different expenses, it is
   likely that the standardized yields of the Fund's classes of shares will
   differ for any 30-day period.

o     Dividend Yield. The Fund may quote a "dividend yield" for each class of
its shares. Dividend yield is based on the dividends paid on a class of
shares during the actual dividend period. To calculate dividend yield, the
dividends of a class declared during a stated period are added together, and
the sum is multiplied by 12 (to annualize the yield) and divided by the
maximum offering price on the last day of the dividend period. The formula is
shown below:

  Dividend Yield = dividends paid x 12/maximum offering price (payment date)

      The maximum offering price for Class A shares includes the current
maximum initial sales charge. The maximum offering price for Class B and
Class C shares is the net asset value per share, without considering the
effect of contingent deferred sales charges. The Class A dividend yield may
also be quoted without deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

o     Tax-Equivalent Yield. The "tax-equivalent yield" of a class of shares
 is the equivalent yield that would have to be earned on a taxable investment
 to achieve the after-tax results represented by the Fund's tax-equivalent
 yield. It adjusts the Fund's standardized yield, as calculated above, by a
 stated tax rate. Using different tax rates to show different tax equivalent
 yields shows investors in different tax brackets the tax equivalent yield of
 the Fund based on their own tax bracket.

      The tax-equivalent yield is based on a 30-day period, and is computed
by dividing the tax-exempt portion of the Fund's current yield (as calculated
above) by one minus a stated income tax rate. The result is added to the
portion (if any) of the Fund's current yield that is not tax-exempt.

      The  tax-equivalent  yield may be used to  compare  the tax  effects  of
income  derived from the Fund with income from taxable  investments at the tax
rates  stated.  Your tax  bracket  is  determined  by your  federal  and state
taxable  income (the net amount  subject to federal and state income tax after
deductions and exemptions).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      |X|   Total Return Information. There are different types of "total
returns" to measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in
value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming
that all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in
additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the
period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the
total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total
return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, 10
years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the
entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual
year-by-year performance. The Fund uses standardized calculations for its
total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

      In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum
sales charge of 4.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted
from the initial investment ("P" in the formula below) (unless the return is
shown without sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment
of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on
the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the
second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0%
in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year
period.

o     Average Annual Total Return. The "average annual total return" of each
class is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in
value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula
below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an Ending
Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the formula) of that investment, according to the
following formula:

    ERV      - 1  Average Annual Total
          l/n     Return
    ------
      P

o     Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions). The
"average annual total return (after taxes on distributions)" of Class A
shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes
(calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in
effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during
the specified period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value
of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below)
held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value
("ATVD" in the formula) of that investment, after taking into account the
effect of taxes on Fund distributions, but not on the redemption of Fund
shares, according to the following formula:

           - 1 = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
ATVD l/n       Distributions)
---
 P

o     Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and
Redemptions). The "average annual total return (after taxes on distributions
and redemptions)" of Class A shares is an average annual compounded rate of
return for each year in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the
effect of federal taxes (calculated using the highest individual marginal
federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date) on any
distributions made by the Fund during the specified period and the effect of
capital gains taxes or capital loss tax benefits (each calculated using the
highest federal individual capital gains tax rate in effect on the redemption
date) resulting from the redemption of the shares at the end of the period.
It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical
initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of
years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value ("ATVDR" in the
formula) of that investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on
fund distributions and on the redemption of Fund shares, according to the
following formula:

            - 1  = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions
ATVDR l/n        and Redemptions)
---
 P

o     Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return" calculation
measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 over an
entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as
average annual total return, but it does not average the rate of return on an
annual basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

  ERV - P   = Total Return
------------
     P

o     Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also
quote a cumulative or an average annual total return "at net asset value"
(without deducting sales charges) for each class of shares. Each is based on
the difference in net asset value per share at the beginning and the end of
the period for a hypothetical investment in that class of shares (without
considering front-end or contingent deferred sales charges) and takes into
consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to
that of an appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to
shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer
Agent at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this
Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may also compare its
performance to that of other investments, including other mutual funds, or
use rankings of its performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of
these performance comparisons are set forth below.

      |X|   Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the
ranking of the performance of its classes of shares by Lipper, Inc.

independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper monitors the performance
of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks their
performance for various periods in categories based on investment styles. The
Lipper performance rankings are based on total returns that include the
reinvestment of capital gain distributions and income dividends but do not
take sales charges or taxes into consideration. Lipper also publishes
"peer-group" indices of the performance of all mutual funds in a category
that it monitors and averages of the performance of the funds in particular
categories.

|X|   Morningstar Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star
rating of the performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc., an
independent mutual fund monitoring service. Morningstar rates and ranks
mutual funds in their specialized market sectors. The Fund is ranked among
the municipal California long category.

      Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history,
Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating(TM)based on a Morningstar
Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly
performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption
fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent
performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next
22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2
stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a
fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause
slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar
Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance
figures associated with its three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable)
Morningstar Rating metrics.

      |X|   Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and
Publications. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements
and sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in
newspapers and other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal, Barron's, or similar publications. That information may include
performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar.
The performance of the Fund's classes of shares may be compared in
publications to the performance of various market indices or other
investments, and averages, performance rankings or other benchmarks prepared
by recognized mutual fund statistical services.

      Investors may also wish to compare the returns on the Fund's share
classes to the return on fixed-income investments available from banks and
thrift institutions. Those include certificates of deposit, ordinary
interest-paying checking and savings accounts, and other forms of fixed or
variable time deposits, and various other instruments such as Treasury bills.
However, the Fund's returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured by
the FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate daily, while bank depository
obligations may be insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return.
Repayment of principal and payment of interest on Treasury securities is
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

      From time to time, the Fund may publish rankings or ratings of the
Manager or Transfer Agent, and of the investor services provided by them to
shareholders of the Oppenheimer funds, other than performance rankings of the
Oppenheimer funds themselves. Those ratings or rankings of shareholder and
investor services by third parties may include comparisons of their services
to those provided by other mutual fund families selected by the rating or
ranking services. They may be based upon the opinions of the rating or
ranking service itself, using its research or judgment, or based upon surveys
of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

      From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales
literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account
that includes shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined
account may be part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or
similar presentation. The account performance may combine total return
performance of the Fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer
funds included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund's
advertisements and sales literature may include, for illustrative or
comparative purposes, statistical data or other information about general or
specific market and economic conditions. That may include, for example,
o     information about the performance of certain securities or commodities
         markets or segments of those markets,
o     information about the performance of the economies of particular
         countries or regions,
o     the earnings of companies included in segments of particular
         industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,
o     the availability of different types of securities or offerings of
         securities,
o     information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of
         the United States or other countries or regions,
o     comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate
         performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Fund.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used
to buy shares of the Fund. Appendix C contains more information about the
special sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances
in which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of
investors.

      When you purchase shares of the Fund, your ownership interest in the
shares of the Fund will be recorded as a book entry on the records of the
Fund. The Fund will not issue or re-register physical share certificates.


AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase
must be at least $50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an
                     ---
Asset Builder Plan (described below) can be established on a new account.
Accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain at $25 for
additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day
the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House
("ACH") transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares
purchased with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund
receives Federal Funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the
close of the New York Stock Exchange ("the NYSE"). The NYSE normally closes
at 4:00 p.m., but may close earlier on certain days. If Federal Funds are
received on a business day after the close of the NYSE, the shares will be
purchased and dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular business
day. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund three
days after the transfers are initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH transfer
are not received on a timely basis, the Distributor reserves the right to
cancel the purchase order. The Distributor and the Fund are not responsible
for any delays in purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH
transmissions.


Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge
rate may be obtained for Class A shares under Right of Accumulation and
Letters of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction in
expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers making such sales.
No sales charge is imposed in certain other circumstances described in
Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information because the
Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses.

Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.       Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial Government Trust


      There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of
each of the Oppenheimer funds described above except the money market funds.
Under certain circumstances described in this Statement of Additional
Information, redemption proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.


Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), you can reduce the
sales charge rate that applies to your purchases of Class A shares if you
purchase Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer
funds during a 13-month period. The total amount of your purchases of Class
A, Class B and Class C shares will determine the sales charge rate that
applies to your Class A share purchases during that period. You can choose to
include purchases that you made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.
Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
on which you have not paid a sales charge and any Class N shares you
purchase, or may have purchased, will not be counted towards satisfying the
purchases specified in a Letter.

      A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of
his or her intention to purchase a specified value of Class A, Class B and
Class C shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds during a 13-month
period (the "Letter period"). At the investor's request, this may include
purchases made up to 90 days prior to the date of the Letter. The Letter
states the investor's intention to make the aggregate amount of purchases of
shares which will equal or exceed the amount specified in the Letter.
Purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions
and purchases made at net asset value (i.e. without a sales charge) do not
count toward satisfying the amount of the Letter.

      Each purchase of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the
offering price (including the sales charge) that would apply to a single
lump-sum purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased under the
Letter.


      In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase
shares. However, if the investor's purchases of shares within the Letter
period, when added to the value (at offering price) of the investor's
holdings of shares on the last day of that period, do not equal or exceed the
intended purchase amount, the investor agrees to pay the additional amount of
sales charge applicable to such purchases. That amount is described in "Terms
of Escrow," below (those terms may be amended by the Distributor from time to
time). The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 5% of the intended
purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent subject to the
Terms of Escrow. Also, the investor agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Prospectus, this Statement of Additional Information and the application used
for a Letter. If those terms are amended, as they may be from time to time by
the Fund, the investor agrees to be bound by the amended terms and that those
amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters.

      If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter period do not
equal or exceed the intended purchase amount, the concessions previously paid
to the dealer of record for the account and the amount of sales charge
retained by the Distributor will be adjusted to the rates applicable to
actual total purchases. If total eligible purchases during the Letter period
exceed the intended purchase amount and exceed the amount needed to qualify
for the next sales charge rate reduction set forth in the Prospectus, the
sales charges paid will be adjusted to the lower rate. That adjustment will
be made only if and when the dealer returns to the Distributor the excess of
the amount of concessions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of
concessions that apply to the actual amount of purchases. The excess
concessions returned to the Distributor will be used to purchase additional
shares for the investor's account at the net asset value per share in effect
on the date of such purchase, promptly after the Distributor's receipt
thereof.

      The  Transfer  Agent  will not hold  shares in escrow for  purchases  of
shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds by  OppenheimerFunds  prototype
401(k) plans under a Letter.  If the intended  purchase  amount under a Letter
entered into by an OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan is not purchased by
the plan by the end of the  Letter  period,  there  will be no  adjustment  of
concessions paid to the  broker-dealer or financial  institution of record for
accounts held in the name of that plan.

      In determining the total amount of purchases made under a Letter,
shares redeemed by the investor prior to the termination of the Letter period
will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the
investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter period. All of such purchases must
be made through the Distributor.

      |X|   Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

   1.    Out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary)
   made pursuant to a Letter, shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of
   the intended purchase amount specified in the Letter shall be held in
   escrow by the Transfer Agent. For example, if the intended purchase amount
   is $50,000, the escrow shall be shares valued in the amount of $2,500
   (computed at the offering price adjusted for a $50,000 purchase). Any
   dividends and capital gains distributions on the escrowed shares will be
   credited to the investor's account.



   2.    If the total minimum investment specified under the Letter is
   completed within the 13-month Letter period, the escrowed shares will be
   promptly released to the investor.


   3.    If, at the end of the 13-month Letter period the total purchases
   pursuant to the Letter are less than the intended purchase amount
   specified in the Letter, the investor must remit to the Distributor an
   amount equal to the difference between the dollar amount of sales charges
   actually paid and the amount of sales charges which would have been paid
   if the total amount purchased had been made at a single time. That sales
   charge adjustment will apply to any shares redeemed prior to the
   completion of the Letter. If the difference in sales charges is not paid
   within twenty days after a request from the Distributor or the dealer, the
   Distributor will, within sixty days of the expiration of the Letter,
   redeem the number of escrowed shares necessary to realize such difference
   in sales charges. Full and fractional shares remaining after such
   redemption will be released from escrow. If a request is received to
   redeem escrowed shares prior to the payment of such additional sales
   charge, the sales charge will be withheld from the redemption proceeds.


   4.    By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and
   appoints the Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for
   redemption any or all escrowed shares.


5.    The shares eligible for purchase under the Letter (or the holding of
which may be counted toward completion of a Letter) include:
(a)   Class A shares sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a Class
            A contingent deferred sales charge,

(b)   Class B and Class C shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject
            to a contingent deferred sales charge, and
(c)   Class A, Class B or Class C shares acquired by exchange of either (1)
            Class A shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were
            acquired subject to a Class A initial or contingent deferred
            sales charge or (2) Class B or Class C shares of one of the other
            Oppenheimer funds that were acquired subject to a contingent
            deferred sales charge.


   6.    Shares held in escrow hereunder will automatically be exchanged for
   shares of another fund to which an exchange is requested, as described in
   the section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Exchange Shares" and the
   escrow will be transferred to that other fund.


Asset Builder Plans. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to
November 1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans,
additional purchases will remain at $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder
Plan payments from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions
for recent purchases described in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans are
available only if your bank is an ACH member. Asset Builder Plans may not be
used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified
retirement accounts.

      If you make payments from your bank account to purchase shares of the
Fund, your bank account will be debited automatically. Normally the debit
will be made two business days prior to the investment dates you selected on
your application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent or the Fund
shall be responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from
delays in ACH transmissions.

      Before you establish Asset Builder payments, you should obtain a
prospectus of the selected fund(s) from your financial advisor (or the
Distributor) and request an application from the Distributor. Complete the
application and return it. You may change the amount of your Asset Builder
payment or you can terminate these automatic investments at any time by
writing to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable
period (approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to
implement them. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue
offering Asset Builder plans at any time without prior notice.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Cancellation of purchase orders for the
Fund's shares (for example, when a purchase check is returned to the Fund
unpaid) causes a loss to be incurred when the net asset values of the Fund's
shares on the cancellation date is less than on the purchase date. That loss
is equal to the amount of the decline in the net asset value per share
multiplied by the number of shares in the purchase order. The investor is
responsible for that loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for
the loss, the Distributor will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor
for that amount by redeeming shares from any account registered in that
investor's name, or the Fund or the Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in
the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has
different shareholder privileges and features. The net income attributable to
Class B or Class C shares and the dividends payable on Class B or Class C
shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne solely by that class.
Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which Class B and
Class C are subject.

      The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to
choose the method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the
investor. That may depend on the amount of the purchase, the length of time
the investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant circumstances. Class
A shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge. While Class B
and Class C shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose of the deferred
sales charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C shares is
the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares - to
compensate the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial institutions
that sell shares of the Fund. A salesperson who is entitled to receive
compensation from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive
different levels of compensation for selling one class of shares rather than
another.

      The Distributor will not accept a purchase order of $100,000 or more
for Class B shares or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase
Class C shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street
name" or omnibus accounts).


      Class B or Class C shares may not be purchased by an investor directly
from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered
broker-dealer.


      |X|   Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable
federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of
Class B shares to Class A shares 72 months after purchase is not treated as a
taxable event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of
those laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended.
In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while
that suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be
exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the
two classes, without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange
could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such
exchange, Class B shares might continue to be subject to the asset-based
sales charge for longer than six years.

      |X|   Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its
daily operations, such as custodian fees, Trustees' fees, transfer agency
fees, legal fees and auditing costs. Those expenses are paid out of the
Fund's assets and are not paid directly by shareholders. However, those
expenses reduce the net asset values of shares, and therefore are indirectly
borne by shareholders through their investment.

      The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and
distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses.
General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are
allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on
the percentage of the Fund's total assets that is represented by the assets
of each class, and then equally to each outstanding share within a given
class. Such general expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and
audit fees, printing and mailing costs of shareholder reports, Prospectuses,
Statements of Additional Information and other materials for current
shareholders, fees to unaffiliated Trustees, custodian expenses, share
issuance costs, organization and start-up costs, interest, taxes and
brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

      Other expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class are
allocated equally to each outstanding share within that class. Examples of
such expenses include distribution and service plan (12b-1) fees, transfer
and shareholder servicing agent fees and expenses and shareholder meeting
expenses (to the extent that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance
Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance valued under $500.
The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account
on or about the second to last business day of September.

      Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its
discretion, not to assess the Fund Account Fees. These exceptions are subject
to change:
o     A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the
      prior year;
o     A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic
      conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However, once all
      Class B shares held in the account have been converted to Class A
      shares the new account balance may become subject to the Minimum
      Balance Fee;
o     Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents
      electronically via eDoc Direct;
o     A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance
      below $500 and is being escheated;
o     Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC
      Fund/SERV system;
o     Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding
      certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;
o     Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender,
      Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement Plan
      programs; and
o     A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market
      fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is
      deducted.

1.888.470.0862 for instructions.

o     The Fund reserves the authority to modify Fund Account Fees in its
         discretion.


Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per share
of each class of shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of
business of the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open. The calculation is
done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to a class
by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The NYSE normally
closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some other days
(for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling before a U.S.
holiday).  All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information
mean "Eastern time." The NYSE's most recent annual announcement regarding
holidays and days when the market may close early is available on the NYSE's
website at www.nyse.com.

      Dealers other than NYSE members may conduct trading in municipal
securities on days on which the NYSE is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 p.m. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's
net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset
values per share may be significantly affected on such days when shareholders
may not purchase or redeem shares.


      ?  Securities Valuation. The Fund's Board of Trustees has established
procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general those
procedures are as follows:

o     Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60
days are valued based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices
determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.
o     The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and
"asked" prices determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board
of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)   debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when
               issued,
(2)   debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued
               and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3)   non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or
               less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60
               days or less.
o     The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization
of premiums and accretion of discounts:
(1)   money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had a
               maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have a
               remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2)   debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining
               maturity of 397 days or less.

o     Securities (including restricted securities) not having
readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value determined under
the Board's procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers
willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the
"bid" and "asked" prices provided by a single active market maker (which in
certain cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

      In the case of municipal securities, when last sale information is not
generally available, the Manager may use pricing services approved by the
Board of Trustees. The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to the
prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and
maturity. Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt
status of the interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will
monitor the accuracy of the pricing services. That monitoring may include
comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of
selected securities.


      Puts, calls, futures and municipal bond index futures are valued at the
last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded or on
Nasdaq(R), as applicable, as determined by a pricing service approved by the
Board of Trustees or by the Manager. If there were no sales that day, they
shall be valued at the last sale price on the preceding trading day if it is
within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the principal
exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the
closing bid price on the principal exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on the valuation
date. If the put, call or future is not traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq(R),
it shall be valued by the mean between "bid" and "asked" prices obtained by
the Manager from two active market makers. In certain cases that may be at
the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.


      When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received
is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An
equivalent credit is included in the liability section. The credit is
adjusted ("marked-to-market") to reflect the current market value of the
option. In determining the Fund's gain on investments, if a call or put
written by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium
received. If a call or put written by the Fund expires, the Fund has a gain
in the amount of the premium. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, it will have a gain or loss, depending on whether the premium
received was more or less than the cost of the closing transaction. If the
Fund exercises a put it holds, the amount the Fund receives on its sale of
the underlying investment is reduced by the amount of premium paid by the
Fund.

How to Sell Shares

The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming
shares set forth in the Prospectus.

Checkwriting. When a check is presented to United Missouri Bank (the "Bank")
for clearance, the Bank will ask the Fund to redeem a sufficient number of
full and fractional shares in the shareholder's account to cover the amount
of the check. This enables the shareholder to continue receiving dividends on
those shares until the check is presented to the Fund. Checks may not be
presented for payment at the offices of the Bank or the Fund's custodian.
This limitation does not affect the use of checks for the payment of bills or
to obtain cash at other banks. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend
or discontinue offering checkwriting privileges at any time. The Fund will
provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.

      In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing
the account application or by completing a Checkwriting card, each individual
who signs:
(1)   for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered
           owner(s) of the shares of the Fund in that account;
(2)   for accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts and other entities,
           represents that they are an officer, general partner, trustee or
           other fiduciary or agent, as applicable, duly authorized to act on
           behalf of the registered owner(s);
(3)   authorizes the Fund, its Transfer Agent and any bank through which the
           Fund's drafts (checks) are payable to pay all checks drawn on the
           Fund account of such person(s) and to redeem a sufficient amount
           of shares from that account to cover payment of each check;
(4)   specifically acknowledges that if they choose to permit checks to be
           honored if there is a single signature on checks drawn against
           joint accounts, or accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts
           or other entities, the signature of any one signatory on a check
           will be sufficient to authorize payment of that check and
           redemption from the account, even if that account is registered in
           the names of more than one person or more than one authorized
           signature appears on the Checkwriting card or the application, as
           applicable;
(5)   understands that the Checkwriting privilege may be terminated or
           amended at any time by the Fund and/or the Fund's bank; and
(6)   acknowledges and agrees that neither the Fund nor its bank shall incur
           any liability for that amendment or termination of checkwriting
           privileges or for redeeming shares to pay checks reasonably
           believed by them to be genuine, or for returning or not paying
           checks that have not been accepted for any reason.


Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Federal Funds wire of
redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open
for business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be
made, which is usually the Fund's next regular business day following the
redemption. In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until
the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business. No
dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer
by Federal Funds wire.


Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o     Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
         shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o     Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred
         sales charge when redeemed.

      The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A
shares of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of
the Fund are exchangeable as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below.
Reinvestment will be at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer
Agent receives the reinvestment order. The shareholder must ask the Transfer
Agent for that privilege at the time of reinvestment. This privilege does not
apply to Class C shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease offering this
reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of
such amendment, suspension or cessation.

      Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were redeemed is
taxable, and reinvestment will not alter any capital gains tax payable on
that gain. If there has been a capital loss on the redemption, some or all of
the loss may not be tax deductible, depending on the timing and amount of the
reinvestment. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if the redemption proceeds of
Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in shares of the
Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the
sales charge, the shareholder's basis in the shares of the Fund that were
redeemed may not include the amount of the sales charge paid. That would
reduce the loss or increase the gain recognized from the redemption. However,
in that case the sales charge would be added to the basis of the shares
acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments "In Kind". The Prospectus states that payment for shares tendered
for redemption is ordinarily made in cash. However, under certain
circumstances, the Board of Trustees of the Fund may determine that it would
be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the
Fund to make payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. In that
case, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a
distribution "in kind" of liquid securities from the portfolio of the Fund,
in lieu of cash.

      The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment
Company Act. Under that rule, the Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely
in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund
during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. If shares are redeemed in
kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in
selling the securities for cash. The Fund will value securities used to pay
redemptions in kind using the same method the Fund uses to value its
portfolio securities described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values
Per Share." That valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price
is determined.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause
the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate
net asset value of those shares is less than $200 or such lesser amount as
the Board may fix. The Board of Trustees will not cause the involuntary
redemption of shares in an account if the aggregate net asset value of such
shares has fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market
fluctuations. If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the
requirements for any notice to be given to the shareholders in question (not
less than 30 days). The Board may alternatively set requirements for the
shareholder to increase the investment, or set other terms and conditions so
that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares. A transfer of shares to a different registration is not
an event that triggers the payment of sales charges. Therefore, shares are
not subject to the payment of a contingent deferred sales charge of any class
at the time of transfer to the name of another person or entity. It does not
matter whether the transfer occurs by absolute assignment, gift or bequest,
as long as it does not involve, directly or indirectly, a public sale of the
shares. When shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are
transferred, the transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent
deferred sales charge. It will be calculated as if the transferee shareholder
had acquired the transferred shares in the same manner and at the same time
as the transferring shareholder.

      If less than all shares held in an account are transferred, and some
but not all shares in the account would be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge if redeemed at the time of transfer, the priorities described in
the Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares" for the imposition of the Class B or
Class C contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the
order in which shares are transferred.


Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The
Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized
dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact
their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase
price per share will be the net asset value next computed after the
Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the
Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the
close of the Exchange on a regular business day, it will be processed at that
day's net asset value if the order was received by the dealer or broker from
its customers prior to the time the Exchange closes. Normally, the Exchange
closes at 4:00 p.m.., but may do so earlier on some days. Additionally, the
order must have been transmitted to and received by the Distributor prior to
its close of business that day (normally 5:00 p.m.).


      Ordinarily, for accounts redeemed by a broker-dealer under this
procedure, payment will be made within three business days after the shares
have been redeemed upon the Distributor's receipt of the required redemption
documents in proper form. The signature(s) of the registered owners on the
redemption documents must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors owning shares of the Fund
valued at $5,000 or more can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares
(having a value of at least $50) automatically on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Shares will
be redeemed three business days prior to the date requested by the
shareholder for receipt of the payment. Automatic withdrawals of up to $1,500
per month may be requested by telephone if payments are to be made by check
payable to all shareholders of record. Payments must also be sent to the
address of record for the account and the address must not have been changed
within the prior 30 days. Required minimum distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans may not be arranged on this
basis.

      Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having
AccountLink privileges (see "How To Buy Shares") may arrange to have
Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated
on the account application or by signature-guaranteed instructions sent to
the Transfer Agent. Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic
Withdrawal Plan three business days before the payment transmittal date you
select in the account application. If a contingent deferred sales charge
applies to the redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced
accordingly.

      The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested.
The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these
plans at any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed
on Class A share purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional
Class A share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan.
Class B and Class C shareholders should not establish automatic withdrawal
plans, because of the potential imposition of the contingent deferred sales
charge on such withdrawals (except where the contingent deferred sales charge
is waived as described in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional
Information).

      By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder
agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated below.
These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the
Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to
existing Plans.

      ?  Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer
Agent to exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares
(of the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The
minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $50.
Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are
subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to
Exchange Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.

      ?  Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Fund shares will be redeemed as
necessary to meet withdrawal payments. Shares acquired without a sales charge
will be redeemed first. Shares acquired with reinvested dividends and capital
gains distributions will be redeemed next, followed by shares acquired with a
sales charge, to the extent necessary to make withdrawal payments. Depending
upon the amount withdrawn, the investor's principal may be depleted. Payments
made under these plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your
investment.

      The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's Automatic Withdrawal
Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) (the "Planholder") who executed the plan
authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the
Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability to the Planholder for
any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to
administer the plan. Share certificates will not be issued for shares of the
Fund purchased for and held under the plan, but the Transfer Agent will
credit all such shares to the account of the Planholder on the records of the
Fund. Any share certificates held by a Planholder may be surrendered
unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the plan application so that the shares
represented by the certificate may be held under the plan.

      For accounts subject to Automatic Withdrawal Plans, distributions of
capital gains must be reinvested in shares of the Fund, which will be done at
net asset value without a sales charge. Dividends on shares held in the
account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

      Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset
value per share determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink
payments representing the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be
transmitted three business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the
payment, according to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder.
Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

      The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to
which checks are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be
changed at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. The
Planholder should allow at least two weeks' time after mailing such
notification for the requested change to be put in effect. The Planholder
may, at any time, instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem
all, or any part of, the shares held under the plan. That notice must be in
proper form in accordance with the requirements of the then-current
Prospectus of the Fund. In that case, the Transfer Agent will redeem the
number of shares requested at the net asset value per share in effect and
will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

      The Planholder may terminate a Plan at any time by writing to the
Transfer Agent. The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to
terminate a Plan. The Transfer Agent will also terminate a Plan upon its
receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is
legally incapacitated. Upon termination of a Plan by the Transfer Agent or
the Fund, shares that have not been redeemed will be held in uncertificated
form in the name of the Planholder. The account will continue as a
dividend-reinvestment, uncertificated account unless and until proper
instructions are received from the Planholder, his or her executor or
guardian, or another authorized person.

      If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the
Planholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to
act as agent in administering the plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer
funds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares
of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds
that have a single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A"
shares for this purpose. You can obtain a current list showing which funds
offer which classes of shares by calling the Distributor.

o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of any other fund.
o     Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are
      generally available only by exchange from the same class of shares of

      plans.
o     Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be
      exchanged only for Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They may
      not be acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other
      Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
      Fund or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M
      shares.
   o  Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value
      for shares of any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares
      of any money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be
      exchanged for shares of Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge
      upon payment of the sales charge. They may also be used to purchase
      shares of Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal charge or
      contingent deferred sales charge.
   o  Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or
      distributions from any of the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit
      investment trust for which reinvestment arrangements have been made
      with the Distributor may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of
      any of the Oppenheimer funds.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (8/5/2010).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (2/4/2011).

o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund III until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (12/06/2011).


      The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time. Although the Fund may impose these changes at any time, it will provide
you with notice of those changes whenever it is required to do so by
applicable law. It may be required to provide 60 days' notice prior to
materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege. That 60 day notice
is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

      |X|   How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any
class purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, with the
following exceptions:

o     When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester
National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of
Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A
contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from
the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged
Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on
the redeemed shares.

o     When Class A shares of Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund
Municipals acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o     If any Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged
for Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to
the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at
the time of exchange, the holding period for that Class A contingent deferred
sales charge will carry over to the Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior
Floating Rate Fund acquired in the exchange. The Class A shares of
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in that exchange will be
subject to the Class A Early Withdrawal Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating
Rate Fund if they are repurchased before the expiration of the holding period.

o     When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money
Market Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer
fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are
redeemed within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares
were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from
which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.


         Except with respect to the Class B shares described in the next two
paragraphs, the contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares
acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class B shares of Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer
Senior Floating Rate Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of the
initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class B shares of Cash Reserves that were acquired
through the exchange of Class B shares initially purchased in the Oppenheimer
Capital Preservation Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of that
initial purchase.


o     With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales
charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed
within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

o     With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge
will be imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans)
is terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an
investment option of the plan and Class N shares are redeemed within 18
months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer
fund or with respect to an individual retirement plan or 403(b) plan, Class N
shares are redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N
shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

o     When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed to effect an
exchange, the priorities described in "How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus
for the imposition of the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred
sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which the shares
are exchanged. Before exchanging shares, shareholders should take into
account how the exchange may affect any contingent deferred sales charge that
might be imposed in the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.

      Shareholders owning shares of more than one class must specify which
class of shares they wish to exchange.

      |X|   Limits on Multiple Exchange Orders. The Fund reserves the right
to reject telephone or written exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone
on behalf of more than one account.

      |X|   Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone,
a shareholder must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange
is to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund
before the exchange request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy
(which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market
fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by
telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

      |X|   Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed
on the regular business day the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request
in proper form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be
acquired are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be
delayed by either fund up to five business days if it determines that it
would be disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the redemption proceeds.
The Fund reserves the right, in its discretion, to refuse any exchange
request that may disadvantage it. For example, if the receipt of multiple
exchange requests from a dealer might require the disposition of portfolio
securities at a time or at a price that might be disadvantageous to the Fund,
the Fund may refuse the request.

      When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another,
any special account feature such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic
Withdrawal Plan will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell the
Transfer Agent not to do so. However, special redemption and exchange
features such as Automatic Exchange Plans and Automatic Withdrawal Plans
cannot be switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

      In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged
may be less than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested
would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional Information, or would include shares covered by a
share certificate that is not tendered with the request. In those cases, only
the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

      The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different
investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that
the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be
aware of the tax consequences of an exchange. For federal income tax
purposes, an exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one
fund and a purchase of shares of another. "Reinvestment Privilege," above,
discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption proceeds
in such cases. The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable
to provide investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection
with an exchange request or any other investment transaction.


Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. Dividends will be payable on shares held of
record at the time of the previous determination of net asset value, or as
otherwise described in "How to Buy Shares." Daily dividends will not be
declared or paid on newly purchased shares until such time as Federal Funds
(funds credited to a member bank's account at the Federal Reserve Bank) are
available from the purchase payment for such shares. Normally, purchase
checks received from investors are converted to Federal Funds on the next
business day. Shares purchased through dealers or brokers normally are paid
for by the third business day following the placement of the purchase order.

      Shares redeemed through the regular redemption procedure will be paid
dividends through and including the day on which the redemption request is
received by the Transfer Agent in proper form. Dividends will be declared on
shares repurchased by a dealer or broker for three business days following
the trade date (that is, up to and including the day prior to settlement of
the repurchase). If all shares in an account are redeemed, all dividends
accrued on shares of the same class in the account will be paid together with
the redemption proceeds.

      The Fund's practice of attempting to pay dividends on Class A shares at
a constant level requires the Manager to monitor the Fund's portfolio and, if
necessary, to select higher-yielding securities when it is deemed appropriate
to seek income at the level needed to meet the target. Those securities must
be within the Fund's investment parameters, however. The Fund expects to pay
dividends at a targeted level from its net investment income and other
distributable income without any impact on the net asset values per share.

      Dividends, distributions and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares
represented by checks returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as
undeliverable will be invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund,
Inc. Reinvestment will be made as promptly as possible after the return of
such checks to the Transfer Agent, to enable the investor to earn a return on
otherwise idle funds. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment
laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to shareholders
or their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

      The amount of a distribution paid on a class of shares may vary from
time to time depending on market conditions, the composition of the Fund's
portfolio, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a class.
Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and on the same
day for shares of each class. However, dividends on Class B and Class C
shares are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A shares. That is due
to the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class C shares.
Those dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any difference
in net asset value among the different classes of shares.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares.
The federal tax treatment of the Fund's distributions is briefly highlighted
in the Prospectus. The following is only a summary of certain additional tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders.

      The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information is based on tax law in effect on the date of the Prospectus and
this Statement of Additional Information. Those laws and regulations may be
changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, sometimes with
retroactive effect. State and local tax treatment of exempt-interest
dividends and potential capital gain distributions from regulated investment
companies may differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code
described below. Potential purchasers of shares of the Fund are urged to
consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their own tax
circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state and local tax
rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

|X|   Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected
to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a regulated investment company,
the Fund is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net
investment income (that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable
ordinary income, net of expenses) and capital gain net income (that is, the
excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses)
that it distributes to shareholders.

      If the Fund qualifies as a "regulated investment company" under the
Internal Revenue Code, it will not be liable for federal income tax on
amounts it pays as dividends and other distributions. That qualification
enables the Fund to "pass through" its income and realized capital gains to
shareholders without having to pay tax on them. The Fund qualified as a
regulated investment company in its last fiscal year and intends to qualify
in future years, but reserves the right not to qualify. The Internal Revenue
Code contains a number of complex tests to determine whether the Fund
qualifies. The Fund might not meet those tests in a particular year. If it
does not qualify, the Fund will be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary
corporation and will receive no tax deduction for payments of dividends and
other distributions made to shareholders. In such an instance, all of the
Fund's dividends would be taxable to shareholders.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must distribute
at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (in brief, net
investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net
long-term capital loss) and at least 90% of its net tax-exempt income for the
taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy certain other requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code, some of which are described below. Distributions by
the Fund made during the taxable year or, under specified circumstances,
within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, will be considered
distributions of income and gains for the taxable year and will therefore
count toward satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirement.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must derive at
least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with
respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of
stock or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent such currency gains
are directly related to the regulated investment company's principal business
of investing in stock or securities) and certain other income.

      In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund
must satisfy an asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated
investment company. Under that test, at the close of each quarter of the
Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must
consist of cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government
securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and
securities of other issuers. As to each of those issuers, the Fund must not
have invested more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in
securities of each such issuer and the Fund must not hold more than 10% of
the outstanding voting securities of each such issuer. No more than 25% of
the value of its total assets may be invested in the securities of any one
issuer (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other
regulated investment companies), or in two or more issuers which the Fund
controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses.
For purposes of this test, obligations issued or guaranteed by certain
agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are treated as U.S.
government securities.

|X|   Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal
Revenue Code, by December 31 each year, the Fund must distribute 98% of its
taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that
year and 98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of
the prior year through October 31 of the current year. If it does not, the
Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed. It is presently
anticipated that the Fund will meet those requirements. To meet this
requirement, in certain circumstances the Fund might be required to liquidate
portfolio investments to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise tax
liability. However, the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in
a particular year that it would be in the best interests of shareholders for
the Fund not to make such distributions at the required levels and to pay the
excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of
income or capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

|X|   Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Fund intends to qualify under the
Internal Revenue Code during each fiscal year to pay "exempt-interest
dividends" to its shareholders. To satisfy this qualification, at the end of
each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's
total assets consists of obligations as defined in Section 103(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Exempt-interest dividends that are derived
from net investment income earned by the Fund on municipal securities will be
excludable from gross income of shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
To the extent the Fund fails to qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends in
any given form, such dividends would be included in the gross income of
shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

      Net investment income includes the allocation of amounts of income from
the municipal securities in the Fund's portfolio that are free from federal
income taxes. This allocation will be made by the use of one designated
percentage applied uniformly to all income dividends paid during the Fund's
tax year. That designation will normally be made following the end of each
fiscal year as to income dividends paid in the prior year. The percentage of
income designated as tax-exempt may substantially differ from the percentage
of the Fund's income that was tax-exempt for a given period.

      A portion of the exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund may be an
item of tax preference for shareholders subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax. The amount of any dividends attributable to tax preference items
for purposes of the alternative minimum tax will be identified when tax
information is distributed by the Fund.

      A shareholder receiving a dividend from income earned by the Fund from
one or more of the following sources must treat the dividend as ordinary
income in the computation of the shareholder's gross income, regardless of
whether the dividend is reinvested:
(1)   certain taxable temporary investments (such as certificates of deposit,
          repurchase agreements, commercial paper and obligations of the U.S.
          government, its agencies and instrumentalities);
(2)   income from securities loans;
(3)   income or gains from options or futures,
(4)   any net short-term capital gain; and
(5)   any market discount amortization on tax-exempt bonds.

      The Fund's dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received
deduction for corporations. Shareholders receiving Social Security or
railroad retirement benefits should be aware that exempt-interest dividends
are a factor in determining whether (and the extent to which) such benefits
are subject to federal income tax. Losses realized by shareholders on the
redemption of Fund shares within six months of purchase will be disallowed
for federal income tax purposes to the extent of exempt-interest dividends
received on such shares.

      In any  year in which  the  Fund  qualifies  as a  regulated  investment
company  under the Internal  Revenue  Code,  the Fund will also be exempt from
California  corporate  income and franchise  taxes.  It will also be qualified
under  California  law to pay exempt  interest  dividends  that will be exempt
from  California  personal  income tax. That  exemption  applies to the extent
that the Fund's  distributions  are  attributable  to interest  on  California
municipal   securities  and  qualifying   obligations  of  the  United  States
government,  if at  least  50% of the  Fund's  assets  are  invested  in  such
obligations at the close of each quarter in its tax year.  Distributions  from
the Fund  attributable to income from sources other than California  municipal
securities  and U.S.  government  obligations  will  generally  be  subject to
California income tax as ordinary income.

      Distributions  by  the  Fund  from  investment   income  and  long-  and
short-term  capital gains will generally not be excludable from taxable income
in determining  California corporate franchise tax or income tax for corporate
shareholders  of  the  Fund.  Additionally,   certain  distributions  paid  to
corporate  shareholders of the Fund may be includable in income subject to the
California alternative minimum tax.

      The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net
capital gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute
any such amounts. If the net capital gain is distributed and designated as a
capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders as a long-term
capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent to shareholders
in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter how long the
shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by
the Fund before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

      If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be
subject to tax on it at the 35% corporate tax rate. If the Fund elects to
retain its net capital gain, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record
on the last day of its taxable year information regarding their pro rata
share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be
required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on their tax return
as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for his/her
pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain, and will increase the tax
basis for his/her shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less
the tax credit.

      Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described above
regardless of whether the distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in
additional shares of the Fund (or of another fund). Shareholders receiving a
distribution in the form of additional shares will be treated as receiving a
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares
received, determined as of the reinvestment date.


      The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 28% of ordinary
income dividends (not including "exempt-interest dividends"), capital gains
distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any
shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification
                                            -------
number or to properly certify that number when required, (2) who is subject
to backup withholding for failure to report the receipt of interest or
dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to certify to the Fund that
the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding or is an "exempt
recipient" (such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted
by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to
shareholders in January of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.


|X|   Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares. If a shareholder redeems all or a
portion of his/her shares, the shareholder will recognize a gain or loss on
the redeemed shares in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds
of the redeemed shares and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the
shares. All or a portion of any loss recognized in that manner may be
disallowed if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Fund within 30
days before or after the redemption.

      In general, any gain or loss arising from the redemption of shares of
the Fund will be considered capital gain or loss, if the shares were held as
a capital asset. It will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were
held for more than one year. However, any capital loss arising from the
redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a
long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends
received on those shares. Special holding period rules under the Internal
Revenue Code apply in this case to determine the holding period of shares and
there are limits on the deductibility of capital losses in any year.

|X|   Foreign Shareholders.  Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who
is a foreign  person (to  include,  but not  limited to, a  nonresident  alien
individual,  a foreign trust, a foreign estate,  a foreign  corporation,  or a
foreign partnership)  primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income
from the Fund is  effectively  connected  with the conduct of a U.S.  trade or
business.   Typically,   ordinary   income   dividends   paid  (not  including
exempt-interest  dividends  paid  by the  Fund)  from a  mutual  fund  are not
considered "effectively connected" income.


      Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not
"effectively connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S.
tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a
properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may
be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has a tax treaty with
the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by
the Fund. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in March of each
year with a copy sent to the IRS.

      If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively
                                                     ---
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign
person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the
Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status.
If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign
status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 28% on
ordinary income dividends (not including "exempt-interest dividends"),
capital gains distributions (including short-term and long-term) and the
proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. Any tax
withheld (in this situation) by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of
each year with a copy sent to the IRS.


      The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits
of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein.
Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to
them of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S.
withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may elect to
reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the
same class of any of the other Oppenheimer funds listed above. Reinvestment
will be made without sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect
at the close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution.
To elect this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer Agent in
writing and must have an existing account in the fund selected for
reinvestment. Otherwise the shareholder first must obtain a prospectus for
that fund and an application from the Distributor to establish an account.
Dividends and/or distributions from shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds
(other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) may be invested in shares of this Fund
on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor. The Fund's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and
other financial institutions that have a sales agreement with
OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as
the Fund's Distributor. The Distributor also distributes shares of the other
Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of
the Manager.

The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Fund's Transfer Agent, is
a division of the Manager. It is responsible for maintaining the Fund's
shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying
dividends and distributions to shareholders. It also handles shareholder
servicing and administrative functions. It serves as the Transfer Agent for
an annual per account fee. It also acts as shareholder servicing agent for
the other Oppenheimer funds. Shareholders should direct inquiries about their
accounts to the Transfer Agent at the address and toll-free numbers shown on
the back cover.

The Custodian Bank. Citibank, N.A. is the custodian of the Fund's assets. The
custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund's
portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from
the Fund. It is the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian in a
manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian may have with
the Manager and its affiliates. The Fund's cash balances with the custodian
in excess of $100,000 are not protected by federal deposit insurance. Those
uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. KPMG LLP serves as an
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fund. They audit the
Fund's financial statements and perform other related audit services. They
also act as an independent registered public accounting firm for the Manager
and certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Audit and
non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Fund must be pre-approved by
the Audit Committee.

                      MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS DEFINITIONS
                      ----------------------------------

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the
nationally-recognized rating agencies listed below for municipal securities.
Those ratings represent the opinion of the agency as to the credit quality of
issues that they rate. The summaries below are based upon publicly available
information provided by the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
Municipal Ratings are opinions of the investment quality of issuers and
issues in the U.S. municipal and tax-exempt markets. As such, these ratings
incorporate Moody's assessment of the default probability and loss severity
of these issuers and issues.

Municipal Ratings are based upon the analysis of four primary factors
relating to municipal finance: economy, debt, finances, and
administration/management strategies. Each of the factors is evaluated
individually and for its effect on the other factors in the context of the
municipality's ability to repay its debt.

MUNICIPAL LONG-TERM RATING DEFINITIONS

Aaa: Issuers or issues rated Aaa demonstrate the strongest creditworthiness
relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.

Aa: Issuers or issues rated Aa demonstrate very strong creditworthiness
relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.

A: Issuers or issues rated A present above-average creditworthiness relative
to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.

Baa: Issuers or issues rated Baa represent average creditworthiness relative
to other US municipal or tax- exempt issuers or issues.

Ba: Issuers or issues rated Ba demonstrate below-average creditworthiness
relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.

B: Issuers or issues rated B demonstrate weak creditworthiness relative to
other US municipal or tax- exempt issuers or issues.

Caa: Issuers or issues rated Caa demonstrate very weak creditworthiness
relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.

Ca: Issuers or issues rated Ca demonstrate extremely weak creditworthiness
relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.

C: Issuers or issues rated C demonstrate the weakest creditworthiness
relative to other US municipal or tax-exempt issuers or issues.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier 2 indicates a mid- range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a
ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

MIG/VMIG RATINGS: U.S. SHORT-TERM RATINGS
In municipal debt issuance, there are three rating categories for short-term
obligations that are considered investment grade. These ratings are
designated as Moody's Investment Grade (MIG) and are divided into three
levels -- MIG 1 through MIG 3.
In addition, those short-term obligations that are of speculative quality are
designated SG, or speculative grade.

In the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component
rating is assigned. The first element represents Moody's evaluation of the
degree of risk associated with scheduled principal and interest payments. The
second element represents Moody's evaluation of the degree of risk associated
with the demand feature, using the MIG rating scale.

The short-term rating assigned to the demand feature of VRDOs is designated
as VMIG. When either the long- or short-term aspect of a VRDO is not rated,
that piece is designated NR, e.g., Aaa/NR or NR/VMIG 1.

MIG ratings expire at note maturity. By contrast, VMIG rating expirations
will be a function of each issue's specific structural or credit features.

MIG 1/VMIG 1: Denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is
afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support or
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2/VMIG 2: Denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample
although not as large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3/VMIG 3: Denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow
protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be
less well established.

SG: Denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this
category may lack margins of protection.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following
considerations:
o     Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet
      its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms
      of the obligation;
o     Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
o     Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the
      event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the
      laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
   The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As
such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are
typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation rated `AAA' has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation is extremely strong.







AA: An obligation rated `AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only
in small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is very strong.

A: An obligation rated `A' are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations
in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB: An obligation rated `BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters.
However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C

An obligation rated `BB', `B', `CCC', `CC', and `C' are regarded as having
significant speculative characteristics. `BB' indicates the least degree of
speculation and `C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: An obligation rated `BB' are less vulnerable to nonpayment than other
speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure
to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, which could lead to
the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

B: An obligation rated `B' are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations
rated `BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic
conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation rated `CCC' are currently vulnerable to nonpayment and are
dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the
obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not
likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

CC: An obligation rated `CC' are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: The `C' rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy
petition has been filed or similar action has been taken, but payments on
this obligation are being continued.

D: An obligation rated `D' are in payment default. The `D' rating category is
used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the
applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes
that such payments will be made during such grace period. The `D' rating also
will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.







c: The `c' subscript is used to provide additional information to investors
that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the
long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level
and/or the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter `p' indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional
rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt
being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is
largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the
project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to
completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk
of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his
own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an
executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming
investments and cash flows.

r: The `r' highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that
Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability
in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such
obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to
equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and
interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an `r'
symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit
no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are
rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The
ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into
account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the
Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories (`AAA', `AA', `A', `BBB',
commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as
eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing
legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations
eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, and fiduciaries in general.

SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means
obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including
commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity
to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.







A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3: A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection
parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as having significant
speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions
for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due
even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D"
rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the
taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

Notes. A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and
market access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will
likely receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most
likely receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used
in making that assessment:
o     Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other
      maturities, the more likely it will
      be treated as a note; and
o     Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its
      refinancing, the more likely
      it will be treated as a note.

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very
strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.


Fitch, Inc.
International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or
local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency"
ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating
measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's
currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating,
does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls
limiting transfer into foreign currency.

INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings.
Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of
credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a
low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and
in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the
lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit
risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over
time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow
financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not
investment grade.

B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is
present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are
currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent
upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for
meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable
business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of
some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are
based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a
reorganization or liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values
are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the
following serve as general guidelines. "DDD" obligations have the highest
potential for recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued
interest. "DD" indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and
"D" the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy
a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D"
have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.
Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are
not added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to
short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for
most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities,
and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial
commitments in a timely manner.

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally
strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the
case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction
to non-investment grade.

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments,
plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic
conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting
financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business
and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

        OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
        --------------------------------------------------------------


In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class
A shares(2) of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge
that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.(3)  That
is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by
dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain
classes of investors.


Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating to
Retirement Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer municipal funds, because shares
of those funds are not available for purchase by or on behalf of retirement
plans. Other waivers apply only to shareholders of certain funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds,
the term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of plans:
         1) plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal
            Revenue Code,
         2) non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
         3) employee benefit plans(4)
         4) Group Retirement Plans(5)
         5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
         6) Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional
            IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special
arrangement or waiver in a particular case is in the sole discretion of the
Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the
"Transfer Agent") of the particular Oppenheimer fund. These waivers and
special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time by a particular
fund, the Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this
document as the "Manager").

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the
shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request.
I.






 Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to
Initial Sales Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies).

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases
may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed
within 18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National
Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar
month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver
described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption).
Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the
applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge."(6) This waiver provision applies to:
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to
         purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent
         deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans
         (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
         costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
         eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
         certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
         purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|   Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the
         purchases are made:
         1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser
            that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those
            purchases, or
         2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified
            Retirement Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made
            special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the
         following record-keeping arrangements:
         1) The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner &

            Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the
            Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
            record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual
            funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch
            Investment Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available
            under a Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual
            fund's principal underwriter or distributor, and  (b)  funds
            advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b)
            are referred to as "Applicable Investments").

         2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a
            daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are
            provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement
            Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
            record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets
            invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable
            Investments.
         3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a
            service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan
            sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible
            employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion
            manager).

         Code), in each case if those purchases are made through a broker,
         agent or other financial intermediary that has made special
         arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|   A TRAC-2000 401(k) plan (sponsored by the former Quest for Value
         Advisors) whose Class B or Class C shares of a Former Quest for
         Value Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of that Fund due to the

         million or more requested in writing by a Retirement Plan sponsor

|_|   Distributions(9) from Retirement Plans or other employee benefit plans
         for any of the following purposes:

            mutual fund (other than a fund managed by the Manager or a
            subsidiary of the Manager) offered as an investment option in a
            Retirement Plan if the plan has made special arrangements with
            the Distributor.
         11)      Distributions made on account of a plan termination or
            "in-service" distributions, if the redemption proceeds are rolled
            over directly to an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRA.
         12)      For distributions from a participant's account under an
            Automatic Withdrawal Plan after the participant reaches age 59 1/2,

   Special Sales Charge Arrangements for Shareholders of Certain Oppenheimer
           Funds Who Were Shareholders of Former Quest for Value Funds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The initial and contingent deferred sales charge rates and waivers for Class
A, Class B and Class C shares described in the Prospectus or Statement of
Additional Information of the Oppenheimer funds are modified as described
below for certain persons who were shareholders of the former Quest for Value
Funds.  To be eligible, those persons must have been shareholders on November
24, 1995, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the investment advisor to those
former Quest for Value Funds.  Those funds include:
   Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.           Oppenheimer Small- & Mid- Cap
   Value Fund
   Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Fund              Oppenheimer Quest
   International Value Fund, Inc.

   Oppenheimer Quest Opportunity Value Fund

      These arrangements also apply to shareholders of the following funds
when they merged (were reorganized) into various Oppenheimer funds on
November 24, 1995:

   Quest for Value U.S. Government Income Fund  Quest for Value New York
   Tax-Exempt Fund
   Quest for Value Investment Quality Income Fund     Quest for Value
   National Tax-Exempt Fund
   Quest for Value Global Income Fund     Quest for Value California
   Tax-Exempt Fund


      All of the funds listed above are referred to in this Appendix as the
"Former Quest for Value Funds."  The waivers of initial and contingent
deferred sales charges described in this Appendix apply to shares of an
Oppenheimer fund that are either:

|_|   acquired by such shareholder pursuant to an exchange of shares of an
         Oppenheimer fund that was one of the Former Quest for Value Funds,
         or
|_|   purchased by such shareholder by exchange of shares of another
         Oppenheimer fund that were acquired pursuant to the merger of any of
         the Former Quest for Value Funds into that other Oppenheimer fund on
         November 24, 1995.

|X|   Reduced Class A Initial Sales Charge Rates for Certain Former Quest for
Value Funds Shareholders.


Purchases by Groups and Associations.  The following table sets forth the
initial sales charge rates for Class A shares purchased by members of
"Associations" formed for any purpose other than the purchase of securities.
The rates in the table apply if that Association purchased shares of any of
the Former Quest for Value Funds or received a proposal to purchase such
shares from OCC Distributors prior to November 24, 1995.

more than 49
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      For purchases by Associations having 50 or more eligible employees or
members, there is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares, but
those shares are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge
described in the applicable fund's Prospectus.






      Purchases made under this arrangement qualify for the lower of either
the sales charge rate in the table based on the number of members of an
Association, or the sales charge rate that applies under the Right of
Accumulation described in the applicable fund's Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information. Individuals who qualify under this arrangement for
reduced sales charge rates as members of Associations also may purchase
shares for their individual or custodial accounts at these reduced sales
charge rates, upon request to the Distributor.


|X|   Waiver of Class A Sales Charges for Certain Shareholders.  Class A
shares purchased by the following investors are not subject to any Class A
initial or contingent deferred sales charges:

            Quest for Value Funds by merger of a portfolio of the AMA Family
            of Funds.
o     Shareholders who acquired shares of any Former Quest for Value Fund by
            merger of any of the portfolios of the Unified Funds.


|X|   Waiver of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge in Certain

shareholders of any Former Quest for Value Fund:


      Investors who purchased Class A shares from a dealer that is or was not
permitted to receive a sales load or redemption fee imposed on a shareholder
with whom that dealer has a fiduciary relationship, under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and regulations adopted under that law.

B. Class A, Class B and Class C Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.


|X|   Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased Prior to March 6, 1995.  In
the following cases, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for

shares must have been acquired by the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund
into the fund or by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest
for Value Fund or into which such fund merged. Those shares must have been
purchased prior to March 6, 1995 in connection with:

o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan holding only either
            Class B or Class C shares if the annual withdrawal does not
            exceed 10% of the initial value of the account value, adjusted
            annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value
            of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum
            value of such accounts.

|X|   Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased on or After March 6, 1995
but Prior to November 24, 1995. In the following cases, the contingent
deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A, Class B or
Class C shares of an Oppenheimer fund. The shares must have been acquired by
the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund into the fund or by exchange from
an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest For Value Fund or into which such
Former Quest for Value Fund merged. Those shares must have been purchased on
or after March 6, 1995, but prior to November 24, 1995:
o     redemptions following the death or disability of the shareholder(s) (as
            evidenced by a determination of total disability by the U.S.
            Social Security Administration);
o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan (but only for Class B or
            Class C shares) where the annual withdrawals do not exceed 10% of
            the initial value of the account value; adjusted annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value
            of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum
            account value.
      A shareholder's account will be credited with the amount of any
contingent deferred sales charge paid on the redemption of any Class A, Class
B or Class C shares of the Oppenheimer fund described in this section if the
proceeds are invested in the same Class of shares in that fund or another
Oppenheimer fund within 90 days after redemption.

          Oppenheimer Funds Who Were Shareholders of Connecticut Mutual
                            Investment Accounts, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial and contingent deferred sale charge rates and waivers for Class A

of the following Oppenheimer funds (each is referred to as a "Fund" in this
section):

   Oppenheimer U. S. Government Trust,

   Oppenheimer Value Fund and
   Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund

are modified as described below for those Fund shareholders who were
shareholders of the following funds (referred to as the "Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds") on March 1, 1996, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the
investment adviser to the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds:
   Connecticut Mutual Liquid Account         Connecticut Mutual Total Return
   Account
   Connecticut Mutual Government Securities Account   CMIA LifeSpan Capital
   Appreciation Account

A. Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.

|X|   Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a
Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue
to make additional purchases of Class A shares at net asset value without a
Class A initial sales charge, but subject to the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge that was in effect prior to March 18, 1996 (the "prior Class A
CDSC"). Under the prior Class A CDSC, if any of those shares are redeemed
within one year of purchase, they will be assessed a 1% contingent deferred
sales charge on an amount equal to the current market value or the original
purchase price of the shares sold, whichever is smaller (in such redemptions,
any shares not subject to the prior Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).

      Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:
         1) persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18,
            1996, as a result of direct purchases or purchases pursuant to
            the Fund's policies on Combined Purchases or Rights of
            Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund or other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and
         2) persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention
            entered into prior to March 18, 1996, with the former general
            distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase
            shares valued at $500,000 or more over a 13-month period entitled
            those persons to purchase shares at net asset value without being
            subject to the Class A initial sales charge

      Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds that were purchased at net asset value prior to March 18, 1996,
remain subject to the prior Class A CDSC, or if any additional shares are
purchased by those shareholders at net asset value pursuant to this
arrangement they will be subject to the prior Class A CDSC.

|X|




      Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may
be purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of
the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996, and
still holds Class A shares:
         1) any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the
            Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds
            totaled $500,000 or more, including investments made pursuant to
            the Combined Purchases, Statement of Intention and Rights of
            Accumulation features available at the time of the initial
            purchase and such investment is still held in one or more of the
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund
            merged;
         2) any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total
            initial amount invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or
            more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or
            more;
         3) Directors of the Fund or any one or more of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their immediate families;
         4) employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial
            Services, L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior distributor of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds, and its affiliated companies;
         5) one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and
            persons who are retirees from such group) engaged in a common
            business, profession, civic or charitable endeavor or other
            activity, and the spouses and minor dependent children of such
            persons, pursuant to a marketing program between CMFS and such
            group; and
         6) an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual
            or individuals, if such institution was directly compensated by

            the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual
            Funds, provided the institution had an agreement with CMFS.

      Purchases of Class A shares made pursuant to (1) and (2) above may be
subject to the Class A CDSC of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds described
above.

      Additionally, Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales
charge by any holder of a variable annuity contract issued in New York State

Account which is beyond the applicable surrender charge period and which was
used to fund a qualified plan, if that holder exchanges the variable annuity
contract proceeds to buy Class A shares of the Fund.

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix,
above, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of

--------
(1) In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not
have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.
(2) Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
(3) In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a
continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales
charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to
"redemptions" mean "repurchases" of shares.
(4) An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not
it is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares
of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other
administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single
employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical
savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts
must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing
the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.
(5) The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified
retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship,
members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized
group of persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the
group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of
the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan
purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment
dealer, broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such
plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans
other than plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement
Plan" also includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred
compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or
funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial
institution that has made special arrangements with the Distributor.
(6) However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in
amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a
Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of
Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more
than one year.
(7) This provision does not apply to IRAs.
(8) This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)
custodial plans after your separation from service in or after the year you
reached age 55.
(9) The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the
elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.
(10) This provision does not apply to IRAs.
(11) This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans
and loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.
(12) This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund

None.

Item 25. Indemnification
------------------------

Reference is made to the provisions of Article Seven of Registrant's Amended
and Restated Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration
Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling
person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person,
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26. - Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser
-------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)   OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the investment adviser of the Registrant; it
