To the Securities and Exchange Commission:
 

Oppenheimer International Growth Fund (the “Registrant”) and OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., as general distributor of the Registrant’s shares, hereby request the acceleration of the Registrant’s above-referenced Registration Statement on Form N-14 to May 29, 2009, or as soon as practicable thereafter. The initial Form N-14 was filed on April 17, 2009, and Pre-effective Amendment No. 1 was filed on May 5, 2009.

The undersigned hereby acknowledge that (i) should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; (ii) the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and (iii) the Registrant may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
