Proposed Change in Investment Objective

Shareholders will be requested to approve a change in this Fund's investment
objective. The proposed investment objective is for the Fund to seek a high
level of current income exempt from federal income tax for investors by
investing in a diversified portfolio of high-yield municipal securities. If
the proposed change is approved by shareholders, the Fund will broaden its
scope to include securities from outside the State of Florida.

If the proposal is approved by shareholders, the Fund will be managed by
Ronald H. Fielding, CFA.  Mr. Fielding currently manages two other
OppenheimerFunds municipal bond funds featured in this publication.  These
Funds are Rochester Fund Municipals and Limited Term New York Municipal Fund.

Watch this space, or telephone your OppenheimerFunds Dealer Support number
for the most current information on this Fund.



((Copy for corner triangle))

If approved by shareholders, this Fund will become a National Municipal Fund
managed in the Rochester style!
