     This is a Proxy  Statement for the above listed  Oppenheimer  funds (each a
"Fund" and collectively the "Funds").  The Board of Trustees/Directors  ("Board"

shareholders  of each Fund to approve  proposals that have already been approved
by the Trustees.

     The Board has sent you this Proxy Statement to ask for your vote on several
proposals  affecting  your  Fund.  The  Funds  will hold a  Special  Meeting  of
Shareholders on August 17, 2005 at 1:00 p.m.  Mountain Time, as may be adjourned
from  time to time.  The  Special  Meeting  will be held at the  Funds'  offices

     Any  shareholder  who owned  shares of a Fund on May 19, 2005 (the  "Record

meeting or any  adjournment or  postponement  of the meeting.  Shareholders  are
entitled  to cast one vote for each  full  share  and  fractional  vote for each
fractional share they own on the Record Date.

questions, please call 1-800-225-5677 (1-800-CALL-OPP). The Funds expect to mail

Has my Fund's Board approved the Proposals?

     Yes. The Board  unanimously  approved these  proposals on June 16, 2005 and
recommends that you vote to approve each proposal.

Why am I being asked to elect Trustees?

     Certain  regulations  require  that a majority  of  Trustees  be elected by
shareholders.  In addition new  trustees  cannot be appointed by the Trustees to
fill  vacancies  created by  resignations  or an expansion of the Board  unless,
after those appointments,  at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected
by  shareholders.  Nine members of the current  Board will stand for election at
this Special Meeting of shareholders.

Why is the Board  recommending  changes to, or the addition or  elimination  of,
certain investment policies for the Funds, and why must the changes be submitted
to shareholders?

     In some cases the changes to, or addition or elimination of, a policy is in
response to changes in regulatory requirements since the Funds implemented their
current  policies.  Changes are also being recommended in an effort to modernize
the  policies,   provide  the  Funds  additional  flexibility,   and/or  achieve
consistency among the Funds and other funds in the Oppenheimer family funds. The
Proxy  Statement  explains  each  of the  proposed  changes  to or  addition  or
elimination  of, a policy.  Shareholders  are only being  asked to  approve  the
changes  in  investment   policies  that  are   "fundamental."  A  "fundamental"
investment policy can be changed only with the approval of shareholders.

Will the proposed  changes in the  fundamental  investment  policies  change the
investment objective of my Fund?

     No.  Each  Fund  will  continue  to be  managed  according  to its  current
investment objective.

When will the Shareholder Meeting be held?

      The Meeting will be held on August 17, 2005, unless it is adjourned.

How do I vote my shares?

     You can vote your  shares by  completing  and signing  the  enclosed  proxy
ballot(s),  and mailing them in the enclosed postage paid envelope. You may also
vote your shares by calling  toll-free  1-800-___-____,  by facsimile or via the
internet by following the instructions on the attached proxy  ballot(s).  If you
need  assistance,  or have any questions  regarding the proposals or how to vote
your shares, please call 1-800-225-5677 (1-800-CALL-OPP).







                                            PROPOSAL 1

                                    ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

     At the  Meeting,  nine (9)  Trustees  are to be elected.  If  elected,  the
Trustees will serve indefinite terms until their respective  successors are duly
elected and qualified.  The persons named as  attorneys-in-fact  in the enclosed
proxy have  advised  the Funds that,  unless a proxy  ballot  instructs  them to
withhold  authority to vote for all listed  nominees or any individual  nominee,
all validly  executed proxies will be voted for the election of all the nominees
named further below as Trustees of the Funds.

     The Funds are not required,  and do not intend, to hold annual  shareholder
meetings  for the purpose of electing  Trustees.  As a result,  if elected,  the
Trustees will hold office until their successors are duly elected and shall have
qualified.  If a nominee should be unable to accept  election,  serve his or her
term or resign,  the Board may,  subject to the  Investment  Company Act of 1940
(referred to in this Proxy  Statement as the  "Investment  Company Act"), in its
discretion,  select  another  person to fill the  vacant  position.  Each of the
nominees has consented to be named as such in this Proxy  Statement and to serve
as Trustee if elected.

     Although  the  Funds  will  not  normally  hold  annual  meetings  of their
shareholders,  theymay hold shareholder  meetings from time to time on important
matters.  Shareholders also have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee
or to take other action described in the Funds' organizing  documents.  Also, if
at any time,  less than a  majority  of the  Trustees  holding  office  has been
elected by the shareholders of a Fund, the Trustees then in office will promptly
call a shareholders' meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees to that Fund.

     Each of the Trustee  nominees,  except  Matthew P. Fink and John V. Murphy,
currently  serves as a Trustee for all Funds  included in this Proxy  Statement.
Mr.  Fink  serves  as a  Trustee  for  nine (9)  Funds  included  in this  Proxy
Statement.  Mr.  Fink  serves as a Trustee  for  AMT-Free  New York  Municipals,
California  Municipal Fund, Capital  Appreciation  Fund,  Discovery Fund, Global
Opportunities  Fund, Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Growth Fund, Money Market
Fund,  Disciplined  Allocation  Fund,  and Value Fund.  Mr.  Murphy  serves as a
Trustee for 13 Funds  included in this Proxy  Statement.  Mr. Murphy serves as a
Trustee for AMT-Free New York  Municipals,  California  Municipal Fund,  Capital
Appreciation Fund,  Discovery Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, Emerging  Technologies
Fund, Global  Opportunities Fund, Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Growth Fund,
Money Market Fund,  Disciplined Allocation Fund, Value Fund, and U.S. Government
Trust.  Each of the Trustees serves as trustee or director of other funds in the
Oppenheimer family of funds.

     Except for Mr. Murphy,  each Trustee is not an  "interested  person" of the
Funds (as that term is  defined in the  Investment  Company  Act)  ("Independent
Trustee").  Mr.  Murphy is an  "interested  person" of the Funds,  because he is
affiliated  with  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.  (the  "Manager")  by  virtue  of  his
positions as an officer and director of the Manager, and as a shareholder of its
parent company.

     Russell S.  Reynolds  has  reported  he has a  controlling  interest in The
Directorship   Group,  Inc.  ("The  Directorship   Search  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 the
calendar  year  ended  December  31,  2002.  Mr.  Reynolds   reported  that  The
Directorship  Search Group did not provide consulting  services to Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance  Company during the calendar years ended December 31, 2003
or December 31, 2004.

     The Independent  Trustees have unanimously  (except for Mr.  Reynolds,  who
abstained) determined that the consulting  arrangements between The Directorship
Search Group and  Massachusetts  Mutual Life Insurance Company were not material
business or  professional  relationships  that would  compromise  Mr.  Reynolds'
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, prior to January 1,
2006,  be counted for purposes of  determining  whether a quorum of  Independent
Trustees was present or whether a majority of Independent  Trustees approved the
matter.

     The Funds' Trustees and officers (including the portfolio managers),  their
positions with the Fund and length of service in such positions as well as their
principal  occupations and business  affiliations during the past five years are
listed  below.  The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson
Way, Centennial, CO 80112-3924.  Each Trustee will serve for an indefinite term,
until his or her resignation, retirement, death or removal.

A.  General Information Regarding the Board

     The Funds are governed by the Board which is responsible for protecting the
interests of shareholders. The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to
oversee the Funds'  activities,  review their performance and review the actions
of the Manager which is responsible for the Funds' day-to-day operations.  Eight
meetings of the Trustees were held during the calendar  year ended  December 31,
2004. Each Trustee was present for at least 75% of the aggregate number of Board
meetings and all  committees on which that Trustee  served that were held during
the period.

B.  Committees of the Board of Trustees

     The Board of Trustees has  appointed  four  standing  committees:  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 Motley  (Chairman),  Edward Regan (who
will be retiring  from the Board and is not a nominee in this Proxy  Statement),
Kenneth Randall and Mary Miller.  The Audit Committee held 6 meetings during the
calendar year ended  December 31, 2004. The Audit  Committee  provides the Board
with   recommendations   regarding  the  selection  of  the  Funds'  independent
registered  public  accounting  firm. The Audit Committee also reviews the scope
and  results of audits  and the audit fees  charged,  reviews  reports  from the
Fund's  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  concerning the Fund's
internal  accounting  procedures  and  controls,  and  reviews  reports  of  the
Manager's  internal auditor,  among other duties as set forth in the Committee's
charter

     The members of the Regulatory  &  Oversight  Committee are Robert Galli
(Chairman),  Joel Motley and Phillip Griffiths.  The Regulatory &  Oversight
Committee held 6 meetings  during the calendar year ended December 31, 2004. The
Regulatory &  Oversight  Committee evaluates and reports to the Board on the
Funds'  contractual   arrangements,   including  the  investment   advisory  and
distribution  agreements,   transfer  and  shareholder  service  agreements  and
custodian agreements as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Funds
to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable laws, among other
duties as set forth in the Committee's charter.

     The Governance committee is comprised solely of Independent  Trustees.  The
members of the Governance Committee are Phillip Griffiths (Chairman), Russell S.
Reynolds,  Jr. and Kenneth  Randall.  The  Governance  Committee held 6 meetings
during the  calendar  year ended  December 31, 2004.  The  Governance  Committee
reviews the Funds'  governance  guidelines,  the adequacy of the Funds' Codes of
Ethics,  and develops  qualification  criteria for Board members consistent with
the  Funds'  governance  guidelines,   among  other  duties  set  forth  in  the
Committee's charter.

     The members of the Proxy Committee have been Edward Regan  (Chairman) (who,
as stated  above,  will be retiring from the Board),  Russell  Reynolds and John
Murphy  (for those Fund for which Mr.  Murphy  serves as a  Trustee).  The Proxy
Committee  held 1 meeting  during the calendar year ended December 31, 2004. The
Proxy  Committee  provides the Board with  recommendations  for proxy voting and
monitors proxy voting by the Funds.

     The Board is responsible  for approving  nominees for election as trustees.
To assist in this task, the Board has designated the Governance Committee as the
nominating  committee for the Board.  It reviews and recommends  nominees to the
Board. The Committee is comprised  entirely of Independent  Trustees.  The Board
does not have a standing compensation committee.

     The Governance  Committee  charter  describes the  responsibilities  of the
Committee in nominating  candidates for election as Independent  Trustees of the
Funds. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Committee. A current copy
of the Governance  Committee charter is expected to be available to shareholders
in the near future on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

     Under the current policy,  if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or
is  likely  to  exist on the  Board,  the  Governance  Committee  will  consider
candidates  for Board  membership  including  those  recommended  by the  Funds'
shareholders.  The Governance  Committee will consider  nominees  recommended by
Independent  Board members or recommended  by any other Board members  including
Board members affiliated with the Funds' investment advisors. The Committee may,
upon Board  approval,  retain an  executive  search firm to assist in  screening
potential candidates. Upon Board approval, the Governance Committee may also use
the  services  of legal,  financial,  or other  external  counsel  that it deems
necessary or desirable in the screening process.  Shareholders wishing to submit
a nominee for election to the Board may do so by mailing their submission to the
offices of  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.,  Two World  Financial  Center,  225 Liberty
Street,  11th Floor,  New York, NY 10281-1008,  to the attention of the Board of
Trustees of [name of Fund], c/o the Secretary of the Fund.

     Submissions should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following:  (1) the
name, address, and business,  educational,  and/or other pertinent background of
the person being recommended;  (2) a statement  concerning whether the person is
an "interested  person" as defined in the Investment  Company Act; (3) any other
information  that the Fund would be  required  to  include in a proxy  statement
concerning the person if he or she was  nominated;  and (4) the name and address
of  the  person  submitting  the  recommendation   and,  if  that  person  is  a
shareholder,  the period for which that  person held Fund  shares.  Shareholders
should note that a person who owns  securities  issued by  Massachusetts  Mutual
Life  Insurance  Company (the parent  company of the Manager) would be deemed an
"interested person" under the Investment Company Act. In addition, certain other
relationships   with   Massachusetts   Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company  or  its
subsidiaries,  with registered broker-dealers,  or with the Funds' outside legal
counsel may cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."

     The Committee has not established specific  qualifications that it believes
must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees,  the Committee
considers,   among  other  things,  an  individual's  background,   skills,  and
experience;  whether the individual is an "interested  person" as defined in the
Investment  Company Act of 1940; and whether the  individual  would be deemed an
"audit committee  financial  expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC rules.
The Governance  Committee also considers  whether the  individual's  background,
skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of
other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the
manner in which the Committee  evaluates  nominees for trustees based on whether
the nominee is recommended by a shareholder.  Candidates are expected to provide
a mix of attributes, experience, perspective and skills necessary to effectively
advance the interests of shareholders.

Compensation of Trustees

     The Funds'  Independent  Trustees are paid a retainer  plus a fixed fee for
attending each meeting and are  reimbursed  for expenses  incurred in connection
with attending such meetings.  Each Fund for which an Independent Trustee serves
as a director or trustee pays a share of these expenses.

     The officers of the Funds and one Trustee (Mr. Murphy),  who are affiliated
with  the  Manager,  receive  no  salary  or  fee  from  the  Funds.  The  total
compensation from all the Funds represents  compensation received for serving as
a director,  trustee or member of a committee  (if  applicable)  of the Board of
those Funds during the calendar year 2004.

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

     1.   Includes $111,000 paid to Mr. Galli for serving as trustee or director
          of 10 other Oppenheimer funds.
     2.   The Board  appointed Ms. Miller as a Trustee to 12 Funds on August 13,
          2004 and to 10 Funds on October 26, 2004.
     3.   The Board  appointed  Mr.  Fink as a Trustee  on  January  1, 2005 and
          therefore, he did not receive any compensation for the period.

     The Board 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  Funds.  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 will be
determined  based  upon the  performance  of the  selected  funds.  Deferral  of
Trustee's  fees under the plan will not  materially  affect  the Funds'  assets,

     The  principal  accountant  for the audit of each Fund's  annual  financial
statements  billed no such fees  during the last two fiscal  years to the Fund's
investment  adviser or any entity  controlling,  controlled  by, or under common
control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund.

     Such fees would include consultations regarding each Fund's retirement plan
with respect to its Trustees.

     During  its  regularly  scheduled  periodic  meetings,   the  Funds'  Audit
Committee will pre-approve all audit,  audit-related,  tax and other services to
be provided by the principal accountants of the Funds.

     The Audit  Committee has delegated  pre-approval  authority to its Chairman
for any  subsequent  new  engagements  that arise  between  regularly  scheduled
meeting dates provided that any fees so pre-approved  are presented to the audit
committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

     Pre-approval  of non-audit  services may be waived  provided  that:  1) the
aggregate  amount of all such services  provided  constitutes  no more than five
percent of the total amount of fees paid by the Fund to its principal accountant
during the Fund's fiscal year in which  services are provided;  2) such services
were not recognized by the Fund at the time of engagement as non-audit  services
and 3)  such  services  are  promptly  brought  to the  attention  of the  Audit
Committee of the Fund and approved  prior to the  completion  of the audit.  All
services described in the prior items were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

     The  principal  accountant  for the audit of each Fund's  annual  financial
statements  billed the  following  amounts in each Fund's fiscal 2004 and fiscal
2003 to the Fund and each Fund's investment  adviser or any entity  controlling,
controlled  by, or under common  control with the adviser that provides  ongoing
services to each Fund related to non-audit fees.  Those billings did not include
any prohibited  non-audit services as defined by the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.

     The  Funds'  Audit  Committee  has  considered  whether  the  provision  of
non-audit services that were rendered to the Funds' investment adviser,  and any
entity  controlling,  controlled by, or under common control with the investment
adviser that provides  ongoing  services to the Funds that were not pre-approved
pursuant to paragraph  (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of  Regulation  S-X is compatible
with  maintaining the principal  account's  independence.  No such services were

   THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH NOMINEE AS
                              TRUSTEE OF THE FUNDS.


                                        PROPOSAL 2 -

  TO APPROVE CHANGES IN, OR THE ADDITION OR ELIMINATION OF, CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL
                        INVESTMENT POLICIES OF THE FUNDS



     Proposal  2  is  a  series  of  proposals  to  change  certain  fundamental
investment  restrictions  currently  applicable to the different  Funds. We have
described each proposal  contained  within Proposal 2 separately and listed them
in order below.  The table at the front of this Proxy  Statement will assist you
in determining  which proposals apply to your Funds and which investment  policy
or restriction changes are proposed for each Fund.

     Each Fund operates in accordance  with its investment  objective,  policies
and  restrictions,  which are  described  in its  prospectus  and  statement  of
additional  information  (together,  the  "prospectus").  Each  Fund's  policies
generally  are  classified  as  either   "fundamental"   or   "non-fundamental."
Fundamental policies can be changed only by a shareholder vote.  Non-fundamental
policies may be changed by the Trustees without shareholder  approval,  although
significant  changes will be described in amendments  to the Fund's  prospectus.
The Funds'  current  fundamental  investment  restrictions  are included in each
Fund's statement of additional information.

     The Investment  Company Act requires that certain  policies of the Funds be
classified  as  fundamental.  Proposal 2 is  intended  to  modernize  the Funds'
policies as well as  standardize  their  policies by  reclassifying  fundamental
policies  that are not  required  to be  fundamental  as  non-fundamental  or by
eliminating them entirely.  The proposals are designed to provide the Funds with
maximum  flexibility  to pursue  their  investment  objective  and respond to an
ever-changing  investment  environment.  The  Funds,  however,  have no  current
intention of significantly  changing their actual  investment  strategies should
shareholders approve the proposed changes.

     Since  the  organization  of  many of the  Funds,  many  of the  legal  and
regulatory  requirements  applicable to mutual funds have changed.  For example,
certain restrictions imposed by state laws and regulations were preempted by the
National  Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 ("NSMIA") and are no longer
applicable  to mutual  funds.  As a result,  some of the  Funds  continue  to be
subject  to  several  fundamental  investment  policies  that  are  either  more
restrictive  than required under current  regulations  or no longer  required at
all.

     In light of the opportunity  afforded by this Special Meeting to review the
fundamental investment policies of each Fund, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the Funds'
investment manager (the "Manager"), reviewed all of the fundamental policies and
restrictions  with the following goals: (i) to simplify and modernize the Funds'
policies  that are  required  to be  fundamental,  (ii) to make the  fundamental
policies and  restrictions of all the Funds  consistent to the extent  possible,
and (iii) to reclassify as non-fundamental those policies previously required to
be fundamental that are no longer required to be so classified,  or to eliminate
fundamental policies that are no longer required or that are not appropriate for
the operation of the Fund. The Board may change non-fundamental policies without
shareholder   approval,   subject  to  compliance  with  applicable   disclosure
requirements under rules promulgated by the SEC.

     These changes in each Fund's fundamental investment polices would simplify,
streamline and standardize the fundamental investment policies that are required
to be  stated  under  the  Investment  Company  Act,  as  well as  provide  more
flexibility.  The proposed  standardized  fundamental  investment policies cover
those areas for which the  Investment  Company Act  requires the Funds to have a
fundamental  restriction.  They satisfy current regulatory  requirements and are
written to provide flexibility to respond to future legal, regulatory, market or
technical  changes.  The proposed  changes  will not affect each Fund's  current
investment objectives.

     These proposals seek  shareholder  approval of changes that are intended to
accomplish the foregoing goals. By making the fundamental  policies of all Funds
consistent  where  it is  possible  to do so,  monitoring  compliance  would  be
streamlined   and  more  efficient.   Clarifying  and   modernizing   investment
restrictions  generally would allow the Funds to operate more efficiently within
the limits of the Investment  Company Act. These revisions should give the Funds
greater  flexibility  to take  advantage of, and react to,  changes in financial
markets and new investment vehicles. In addition, by reducing to a minimum those
policies that can be changed only by  shareholder  vote, the Funds in the future
may be able to avoid the costs and delay  associated with a shareholder  meeting
when the desire or need arises to change a policy,  and the Board  believes that
the Manager's ability to manage the Funds'  portfolios in a changing  regulatory
or investment environment will be enhanced.

     As a result, the Board has also concluded that, to the extent possible,  it
would  be in the  best  interests  of  all of the  Funds  to  have  uniform  and
consistent fundamental policies. Therefore, the Board of Trustees has authorized
the submission to each Fund's  shareholders  for their  approval,  and the Board
recommends that shareholders  approve the amendment,  and/or  elimination and/or
reclassification of certain of the Funds' fundamental policies.

     Each  sub-proposal  in this  Proposal 2 will be voted on separately by each
Fund,  and the  approval of each  sub-proposal  will  require the  approval of a
majority  of the  outstanding  voting  shares  of each  Fund as  defined  in the
Investment Company Act. (See "Voting Information" below.)

     The  Trustees  believe  standardizing  and  reducing  the  total  number of
investment  policies that can be changed only by a shareholder  vote will assist
the  Funds  and  their  Manager  in  maintaining  compliance  with  the  various
investment  restrictions to which the Funds are subject,  and will help minimize
the costs and delays  associated  with holding  future  shareholder  meetings to
revise  fundamental  investment  policies that become outdated or inappropriate.
The  Trustees  also  believe  that the  Manager's  ability to manage each Fund's
assets  in  a  changing  investment  environment  will  be  enhanced,  and  that
investment management opportunities will be increased by the proposed changes.

     Although the proposed changes in the fundamental  investment  policies will
allow  the  Funds   greater   flexibility   to  respond  to  future   investment
opportunities,  the Board does not anticipate that the changes,  individually or
in the  aggregate,  will result in a material  change in the level of investment
risk  associated  with investment in any Fund or the manner in which any Fund is
managed at the present time. In addition,  the Funds' Trustees do not anticipate
that the proposed  changes will materially  affect the manner in which the Funds
are managed.  In the future, if the Trustees  determine to change materially the
manner in which any Fund is managed,  that Fund's  prospectus will be amended to
reflect such a change.

     Set forth below are a  discussion  of the  proposed  changes to each Fund's
fundamental  investment  policies.  After each proposed  fundamental  investment
policy is a commentary that describes the proposed  policy and the  significance
of the proposed change to the Funds. Each Fund's current fundamental  investment
policies are then shown.

     Shareholders  are  requested  to vote on each  sub-proposal  in  Proposal 2
separately.  If approved by each Fund's shareholders at the Special Meeting, the
proposed changes to each Fund's fundamental  investment policies will be adopted
by each Fund but the effective date of the  sub-proposals  will be delayed until
the particular Fund's  prospectus can be updated to reflect the changes.  If the
shareholders  of a Fund fail to approve  any  sub-proposal  in  Proposal  2, the
current policy or policies covered in that sub-proposal will remain in effect.



Proposal 2a:  Borrowing.

     The Investment  Company Act imposes  certain  restrictions on the borrowing
activities  of mutual  funds.  A fund's  borrowing  policy must be a fundamental
investment policy.

     The   restrictions  on  borrowing  are  designed  to  protect  mutual  fund
shareholders  and their  investments  in a fund by limiting a fund's  ability to
leverage its assets. Leverage exists when a fund has the right to a return on an
investment  that  exceeds  the amount the fund  contributed  to the  investment.
Borrowing  money to make an  investment is an example of how a fund may leverage
its assets.

     The Funds may have the need to borrow  money for a number of reasons.  They
may need toborrow  temporarily to pay redeeming  shareholders when the number or
amount of  redemptions  exceeds  available  cash,  and market  condition are not
favorable to sell portfolio securities to meet those redemptions. Other times, a
Fund must borrow money to pay  redeeming  shareholders  because the Fund has not
yet  received  payment  for  securities  it has sold,  or to pay for  securities
because  it does  not  have  available  cash.  In  addition,  certain  types  of
securities  transactions,   such  as  delayed-delivery,   when-issued,   reverse
repurchase  agreements  and  dollar  roll  transactions  might be  construed  as
borrowing transactions. (These types of transactions are described in the Funds'
statement of additional information.)

     There are risks associated with borrowing.  Borrowing exposes  shareholders
and  their  investments  in a fund to a  greater  risk  of  loss.  For  example,
borrowing may cause the value of a fund's shares to be more volatile than if the
fund did not borrow.  In  addition,  to the extent a fund  borrows,  it will pay
interest on the money that it borrows,  and that interest expense will raise the
overall expenses of the fund and reduce its returns. The interest payable on the
borrowed amount may be more (or less) than the return the fund receives from the
securities purchased with the borrowed amount.

     Currently,  the Funds  listed  below are  subject to a number of  different
fundamental  investment  policies  concerning  borrowing that generally are more
restrictive  than  required by the  Investment  Company Act. The Funds'  current
policies on borrowing  vary and generally  restrict the Funds to borrowing  only
from banks, for temporary  purposes,  limit the Funds' borrowing to 5% or 10% of
its  assets or  prohibit  a Fund  from  borrowing  for  investment  or  leverage
purposes.

     The proposed  amendment  modernizes  and  standardizes  the  restriction on
borrowing. This change would give each Fund the flexibility to engage in certain
securities transactions that might be construed as "borrowing" transactions, and
would  permit  each  Fund to  borrow  money up to the  limits  permitted  by the
Investment   Company  Act.   Changing  this  restriction  would  permit  greater
flexibility  in  managing  each  Fund's  portfolio  and would allow each Fund to
borrow to the maximum extent permitted by law when such borrowings are necessary
for the efficient management of each Fund's assets.

     Currently,  under the Investment Company Act, a mutual fund may borrow only
from banks and only to the extent  that the value of the Fund's  assets less its
liabilities  other than borrowings,  is equal to at least 300% of all borrowings
(including the proposed  borrowing).  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,  a
fund also may 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  shareholders  approve  this  sub-proposal,   each  Fund's  current
fundamental policy will be replaced by the proposed  fundamental policy and each
Fund's prospectus will be updated to describe the current restrictions regarding
borrowing under the Investment Company Act, the rules and regulations thereunder
and any exemptions applicable to the Funds.

     The  proposed  changes  also  would  allow a Fund to  borrow  from  another
Oppenheimer fund when permissible. Borrowing from another Oppenheimer fund could
reduce certain borrowing and transaction costs.

     The Trustees  propose that the current policy be amended to permit the Fund
to borrow as permitted  under the Investment  Company  Act.(1) As amended,  each
Fund's policy on borrowing would remain a fundamental  policy changeable only by
the vote of a majority  of the  outstanding  voting  securities  of the Funds as
defined  in  the  Investment  Company  Act.  The  Funds'  proposed  and  current
fundamental investment policies are set forth below.

                                Proposed Fundamental Policy

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,

                           measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes
                           and (b) borrowing up to 5% of the Fund's total
                           assets from banks for investment purposes, is
                           permitted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 2b:  Concentration of Investments


     Certain Funds currently have a fundamental  investment  policy  prohibiting
them from "concentrating"  their investments,  meaning investing "more than 25%"
of their  total  assets  in any one  industry,  excluding  securities  issued or
guaranteed   by   the   United   States   government   or   its   agencies   and
instrumentalities.   Consistent   with  the  SEC   staff's   interpretation   of
"concentration"  under the  Investment  Company  Act, the Funds  interpret  this
policy to apply to "25% or more" of their  respective  total assets  rather than
"more than  25%." The  Trustees  propose  that the  Funds'  respective  industry
concentration  policies  remain  fundamental,  but be amended to state that they
apply to "25% or more" of each  Fund's  total  assets  and to  clarify  that the
policies do not apply to  investments  in  government  securities  or securities
issued by other mutual funds.

     The  proposed   modifications   modernize  and  clarify  the   restrictions
concerning  concentration  by defining  concentration as the term is used in the
Investment  Company  Act  and as  interpreted  or  modified  by the  appropriate
regulatory  authority.  These changes would give the Funds more  flexibility  to
enter into other types of  investments  at future  times in response to changing
regulatory  interpretations  and financial  markets.  In addition,  the proposed
changes would make the concentration  policies for all the Funds consistent with
those of the other Oppenheimer funds, making portfolio  management  capabilities
easier. These changes do not in any way change how any Fund will concentrate its
investments.  Rather,  these changes will ensure that in cases where Fund assets
are  managed  the same way with  respect to  concentration,  the policy  will be
stated the same way to avoid the possibility of inconsistent administration. The
Funds' proposed and current policies are stated below.

Proposal 2c:  Diversification of Investments

      Under the Investment Company Act, a fund's policy regarding diversification may not
be changed without shareholder approval.  Currently, with respect to 75% of each Fund's
total assets, the Fund cannot buy securities of any one issuer if more than 5% of its total
assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or if it would then own more than 10%
of that issuer's voting securities. The limit does not apply to securities issued by the
U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

     The Trustees propose that the Fund's policy with respect to diversification
be amended to clarify  that the  policy  does not apply to  securities  of other
investment companies.  Additionally, the Trustees propose that Enterprise Fund's
policy  with  respect  to  diversification  be  amended  to  apply to 75% of its
respective total assets only.

     Although  the  proposed  change  would not affect  any  Fund's  status as a
"diversified"   fund,  the  proposed  policy  could  subject  an  investment  in
Enterprise  Fund to  greater  risk  because  the Fund  would be able to invest a
greater  percentage  of its  respective  assets  in the  securities  of a single
issuer. Nonetheless, approval of this sub-proposal is not expected to materially
affect management of the Enterprise Fund or any of the other Funds. Accordingly,
amending the Fund's diversification policy as proposed would increase the Fund's
investment opportunities without materially increasing the risk of an investment
in the Fund.

     In addition,  the proposed change would be consistent with the requirements
of  the  Investment  Company  Act  and  would  promote  the  standardization  of
fundamental  investment  policies  among  the  funds  in the  Oppenheimer  funds
complex. As amended,  the policy on diversification for each Fund would remain a
fundamental  policy  changeable  by the vote of a  majority  of the  outstanding
voting securities as defined in the Investment  Company Act. The Funds' proposed
and current fundamental investment policies are set forth below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Proposed Fundamental Policy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund cannot buy securities or other instruments issued or guaranteed
by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested
in securities or other instruments of that issuer or if it would then
own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities.  This limitation
applies to 75% of the Fund's total assets.  The limit does not apply to
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its
agencies or instrumentalities or securities of other investment
companies.

Proposal 2d:  Futures

      The Board proposes to eliminate the restriction relating to buying or selling futures
contracts with respect to AMT-Free New York Municipals and California Municipal Fund.
These two funds are the only two Funds within the Funds included in this proxy statement
that have such a prohibition.  Elimination of this fundamental policy is unlikely to affect
management of either Fund, and is not expected to materially increase the risk of an
investment in the Funds.  The Trustees recommend that shareholders eliminate this
fundamental investment policy to conform the Fund's policy in this area to other
Oppenheimer funds.

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


Proposal 2e:  Investing to Exercise Control

     Certain Funds are  currently  subject to a  fundamental  investment  policy
prohibiting  them from  investing  in  portfolio  companies  for the  purpose of
exercising  control.  It is  proposed  that the current  fundamental  investment
policy be  eliminated.  Although  these Funds have no intention of investing for
the  purpose  of  exercising  control  of a  company,  the  existing  policy  is
unnecessary  and  may  reduce  possible  investment  opportunities  as  well  as
undermine  the  ability  of the Funds to  realize  the full  value of  portfolio
investments under certain circumstances.

     Elimination of this fundamental investment policy is not expected to have a
significant impact on any Fund's investment practices or management, because the
Funds have no intention  of investing in companies  for the purpose of obtaining
or  exercising  management  or control.  This policy was  originally  adopted to
address  then-existing state requirements in connection with the registration of
shares of the Funds for sale in a  particular  state or  states.  As a result of
NSMIA, the state restriction no longer applies to the Funds.

     In addition,  the existing policy may unnecessarily restrict the investment
flexibility  of the Funds  because the Funds might be considered to be investing
for control if they purchase a large  percentage  of the  securities of a single
issuer.  The existing  policy also may undermine a Fund's ability to realize the
full value of portfolio investments under certain circumstances. For example, if
an  issuer  in  which  one of the  Funds  has  invested  subsequently  seeks  to
reorganize  under the protection of the bankruptcy laws, it may be in the Fund's
best interest to be represented on the creditors' committee appointed during the
bankruptcy proceedings.  The existing policy may prevent the Funds from securing
representation on that creditors' committee.

     The Trustees therefore  recommend that shareholders  approve elimination of
this
fundamental investment policy in order to increase each Fund's flexibility when choosing
investments and investment strategies in the future. As noted above, elimination of this
fundamental policy is unlikely to affect management of the Funds, and is not expected to
materially increase the risk of an investment in any Fund.

      The Funds' current fundamental investment policy is set forth below.

                            company, except in connection with a merger,
                            reorganization, consolidation or acquisition

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


Proposal  2f:  Investments  in  Issuers  Whose  Shares  are Owned by the  Fund's
Trustees or Officers

     Certain Funds are  currently  subject to a  fundamental  investment  policy
prohibiting  them from  purchasing or holding the securities of an issuer if the
officers and trustees of the Funds or the Manager individually  beneficially own
1/2 of 1% of such  securities and together own more than 5% of such  securities.
It is proposed that the current fundamental policy be eliminated.

     This  policy  was  originally   adopted  to  address  then  existing  state
requirements in connection with the registration of shares of the Funds for sale
in a particular state or states.  As a result of NSMIA, the state restriction is
no longer applicable. In addition, maintaining the restriction is not necessary,
because the conflict of interest  that the  restriction  was  probably  meant to
prevent is already  adequately  covered  under the  Investment  Company Act. The
restriction  could impose  limitations  on the operation of the portfolio and is
difficult to administer.  Elimination of this fundamental  policy is unlikely to
affect  management of the Funds, and is not expected to materially  increase the
risk of an investment in the Funds.

     The  Trustees  recommend  that  shareholders   eliminate  this  fundamental
investment policy to conform the Fund's policy in this area to other Oppenheimer
funds. In addition, the Trustees believe that its elimination could increase the
Fund's  flexibility when choosing  investments in the future. The Funds' current
fundamental investment policy is set forth below.

                          5% of the securities of such issuer.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Proposal 2g:  Investing in Other Investment Companies.

     Certain Funds are  currently  subject to a  fundamental  investment  policy
limiting their  investment in securities of other  investment  companies.  It is
proposed   that  each  Fund's   current   fundamental   policy  be  revised  and
re-classified  as a  non-fundamental  policy  that can be  changed in the future
without  shareholder  approval.  The purpose of this  proposal is to provide the
Funds with the maximum  flexibility  permitted by law to pursue their investment
objectives.

     The  Investment  Company Act does not require that policies on investing in
other investment  companies be fundamental.  This policy is non-fundamental  for
many of the other  Oppenheimer  funds.  Making the policy on  investing in other
investment  companies  non-fundamental  would  give the Board  more  flexibility
without  having  to have  the  Funds  incur  the cost of  obtaining  shareholder
approval should regulatory  requirements change or should it become advantageous
for the Funds to invest in other  investment  companies  to an extent  different
from what is currently permitted by their fundamental policies.

     The ability of the Funds to invest in other mutual funds is  restricted  by
Section  12(d)(1) of the  Investment  Company Act.  NSMIA amended  Section 12 to
permit  mutual  funds to enter into  so-called  fund-of-funds  or  master/feeder
arrangements  with other  mutual  funds in a fund  complex,  and granted the SEC
broad  powers to  provide  exemptive  relief for these  purposes.  The Funds are
parties  to an  exemptive  order  from the SEC  permitting  them to  enter  into
fund-of-funds arrangements with other affiliated funds. For several of the Funds
listed below, it is necessary to eliminate this fundamental investment policy to
allow the Funds the ability to take advantage of the exemptive relief.  However,
the  Funds  do  not  currently   anticipate   investing  in  other  funds  in  a
fund-of-funds arrangement. Although they may do so in the future if shareholders
approve  this  proposal,  each  Fund's  prospectus  would  have to be updated to
reflect such a change in policy.

     An  investment  in another  mutual  fund may result in the  duplication  of
expenses.  Should the Trustees  determine in the future that a Fund's investment
in other funds in a  fund-of-funds  arrangement  is in the best interests of the
Fund,  the Trustees  would consider and take steps to mitigate the potential for
duplication of fees in determining  whether any Fund's  participation in such an
arrangement is suitable for the Fund and its shareholders.

     In this regard, several of the Funds may participate as underlying funds in
a fund of funds  arrangement in which another  Oppenheimer fund would invest its
assets in the Fund. As a result,  Section  12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company
Act generally  prohibits a mutual fund from  investing more than 5% of its total
assets in another investment company.  When Congress adopted the "fund-of-funds"
amendments  to Section  12(d)(1) in 1996,  it  permitted  those funds to acquire
shares of underlying funds in excess of the 5% limit if, among other conditions,
the acquired  fund has an  investment  policy  limiting its  investment in other
investment  companies (in other words, so that a fund-of-funds  cannot invest in
another  fund-of-funds).  That  Investment  Company Act  restriction  stems from
Congress's  concern  over the  control  of  investment  companies  being  unduly
concentrated through pyramiding.

     Therefore,  it is necessary for any such Fund, as the  underlying  fund, to
adopt a policy (which may be  non-fundamental)  preventing  them from  investing
more than the  Investment  Company  Act  statutory  limits  in other  investment
companies in order that the  investing  fund of funds may invest more than 5% of
its assets in the underlying Fund.

     The existing policy is not required to be fundamental  under the Investment
Company  Act.  The  purpose of this  proposal  is to  provide  the Fund with the
maximum flexibility permitted by law to pursue its investment objective.

      The Funds' current fundamental investment policies and are set forth below.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 California Municipal    The Fund cannot invest in securities of other
 Fund                    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.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Developing Markets Fund Another fundamental policy adopted by the Fund
                         permits it to invest all of its assets in the
                         securities of a single open-end management
                         investment company for which the Manager, one of
                         its subsidiaries or a successor is the investment
                         Advisor or sub-Advisor. That fund must have
                         substantially the same fundamental investment
                         objective, policies and limitations as the Fund.
                         This policy would permit the Fund to adopt a
                         "master-feeder" structure. Under that structure,
                         the Fund would be a "feeder" fund and would
                         invest all of its assets in a single pooled
                         "master fund" in which other feeder funds could
                         also invest. This could enable the Fund to take
                         advantage of potential operational and cost
                         efficiencies in the master-feeder structure. The
                         Fund has no present intention of adopting the

                         Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
                         Information would be revised accordingly. In
                         addition, the Fund may invest in funds selected
                         by a Trustee of the Fund under its Deferred
                         Compensation Plan for Disinterested Trustees.

 Enterprise Fund         The Fund cannot invest in other open-end
                         investment companies or invest more than 5% of
                         its net assets in closed-end investment
                         companies, including small business investment
                         companies. The Fund cannot make any such
                         investment at commission rates in excess of
                         normal brokerage commissions.

                         Another fundamental policy adopted by the Fund
                         permits it to invest all of its assets in the
                         securities of a single open-end management
                         investment company for which the Manager, one of
                         its subsidiaries or a successor is the investment
                         adviser or sub-adviser. That fund must have
                         substantially the same fundamental investment
                         objective, policies and limitations as the Fund.
                         This policy would permit the Fund to adopt a
                         "master-feeder" structure. Under that structure,
                         the Fund would be a "feeder" fund and would
                         invest all of its assets in a single pooled
                         "master fund" in which other feeder funds could
                         also invest. This could enable the Fund to take
                         advantage of potential operational and cost
                         efficiencies in the master-feeder structure. The
                         Fund has no present intention of adopting the
                         master-feeder structure. If it did so, the

Proposal 2h:  Lending

     Under the Investment Company Act, a fund's policy regarding lending must be
fundamental.  It is proposed that certain Funds' current fundamental policies be
replaced by a revised  fundamental  policy  that  permits the Funds to engage in
lending to the extent their lending is consistent  with the  Investment  Company
Act, the rules thereunder or any exemption from the Investment  Company Act that
is applicable to the Funds. (2)

     Currently,  the  Investment  Company Act permits (a) lending of securities,
(b) purchasing debt instruments or similar  evidences of  indebtedness,  and (c)
investing in repurchase agreements.  If shareholders approve this proposal, each
Fund's current  fundamental policy will be replaced by the proposed  fundamental
policy and each  Fund's  prospectus  will be updated to reflect  the  Investment
Company Act's current restrictions regarding lending.

     If  shareholders  approve the proposed  change in each Fund's  policy,  the
Trustees do not anticipate  that it will affect the management of the Funds.  In
general, the Funds lend their assets primarily in three different ways. They may
lend their portfolio securities,  they may engage in certain types of securities
transactions  that could be  construed as  "lending"  transactions  and they may
engage in "interfund" lending of cash when it is permissible and desirable to do
so. Some Funds are  currently  lending their  portfolio  securities as part of a
securities  lending  program.  Funds can generate income from lending  portfolio
securities,  although  there are risks  involved.  The Funds might  experience a
delay  in  receiving  additional  collateral  to  secure  a loan,  or a delay in
recovery of the loaned securities if the borrower defaults.  However, procedures
are in place to ensure that  borrowers of securities are  creditworthy  and that
the loans are fully collateralized.

     This change would give the Funds the greatest amount of flexibility to lend
their  portfolio  securities  to  generate  income  within  the  limits  of  the
Investment  Company Act where desirable and appropriate in accordance with their
investment objectives.

     In addition, the Funds would have greater ability to engage in transactions
which  could  be  considered  lending,  but  which  could be  beneficial  to the
management  of the  portfolio.  The  Funds'  proposed  and  current  fundamental
investment policies are set forth below.

                                Proposed Fundamental Policy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Proposal 2i:  Margin and Short Sales.

     The Funds listed below are currently  subject to a  fundamental  investment
policy  prohibiting  them from  purchasing  securities on margin and engaging in
short sales. The existing policy is not required to be a fundamental  investment
policy  under the  Investment  Company  Act.  It is proposed  that this  current
fundamental policy prohibiting purchases of securities on margin and engaging in
short sales be eliminated for each Fund.

     Margin  purchases  involve the purchase of securities  with borrowed money,
and the  Investment  Company Act imposes  certain  restrictions  on borrowing as
discussed in detail below under proposals 2(a):  "Borrowing" and 2(j) "Pledging,
Mortgaging  or  Hypothecating  Assets,"  respectively.  "Margin"  is the cash or
securities  that the  borrower  places with a broker as  collateral  against the
loan.  Although  each Fund  listed  below has a current  fundamental  investment
policy that prohibits it from  purchasing  securities on margin,  the Investment
Company  Act  permits  the Funds to obtain  such  short-term  credits  as may be
necessary  for  the   clearance  of   transactions.   In  addition,   SEC  staff
interpretations  permit mutual funds to make margin  payments in connection with
the purchase and sale of futures contracts and options on futures contracts.

     In a short sale, an investor sells a borrowed security with a corresponding
obligation  to the lender to return the  identical  security.  In an  investment
technique known as a short sale "against-the-box," an investor sells short while
owning the same  securities  in the same  amount,  or having the right to obtain
equivalent  securities.  The investor could have the right to obtain  equivalent
securities, for example, through ownership of options or convertible securities.

     A short sale is a form of  leverage.  Leverage  exists  when a fund has the
right to a return on an investment that exceeds the amount the fund  contributed
to  the  investment.   The  use  of  leverage  exposes  shareholders  and  their
investments in a fund to a greater risk of loss. For example,  engaging in short
sales may cause the  value of a fund's  shares to be more  volatile  than if the
fund did not engage in short selling.  In addition,  in a short sale, there is a
risk that the investor may have to buy the security later at a price higher than
the sales price and incur a loss as a result.

     As a result of NSMIA, the state restrictions regarding margin purchases and
short  sales  no  longer  apply  to  the  Funds.  The  Trustees  recommend  that
shareholders eliminate this fundamental investment policy to conform each Fund's
policy to other Oppenheimer  funds.  Elimination of this fundamental  investment
policy is unlikely to affect  management  of the Funds,  and is not  expected to
materially increase the risk of an investment in any Fund.

     Although  the  Funds  would  be  permitted  to  sell  securities  short  if
shareholders  approve this  proposal,  the Funds would have to segregate  liquid
assets to cover their  obligation  under any short  sale.  If the  Trustees  and
Manager  believed that it was in the best interests of a Fund to engage in short
sales to a significant  degree,  that Fund's prospectus would have to be updated
to reflect such a change in policy unless the prospectus  already contained such
a policy.  Among other things,  the  prospectus  would be updated to describe in
detail the risks  associated  with short sales,  which are outlined  above.  The
Board proposes to eliminate the restrictions relating to purchasing on margin.

     The  practices of purchasing  securities  on margin and selling  securities
short  when a Fund does not own the  security  create the  issuance  of a senior
security.  Open-end  investment  portfolios  such  as the  Funds  are by law not
permitted to issue senior  securities  except under very limited  circumstances.
Therefore, there is no need for the Funds to have a restriction on purchasing on
margin or selling  short since these  activities  are  controlled  by  statutory
requirements  and other  restrictions  adopted  by the Funds.  Eliminating  this
restriction  would not affect any Fund's  present  investment  strategies.  Each
Fund's current fundamental investment policy is set forth below.

Proposal 2j:  Pledging, Mortgaging or Hypothecating of Assets.


      Certain Funds are currently subject to a fundamental investment policy concerning the
pledging, mortgaging or hypothecating of their respective assets.  It is proposed that this
current fundamental investment policy be eliminated.

      The existing policy concerning pledging, mortgaging or hypothecating of assets is not
required to be fundamental under the Investment Company Act, and the Funds should be
provided with the maximum flexibility permitted by law to pursue their investment
objectives.  The Trustees recommend that the policy regarding pledging, mortgaging or
hypothecating be eliminated so that the Funds may enter into collateral arrangements in
connection with their borrowing requirements consistent with their other investment
policies, including their policies regarding borrowing and issuing senior securities.  The
risks associated with borrowing are discussed in detail under proposal 2(a) ("Borrowing").

      The restriction on pledging and hypothecating assets was based on state law
requirements that are no longer applicable.  Removing this restriction would give the Fund
greater flexibility by permitting management to make changes in investment policy regarding
pledging or mortgaging assets without seeking shareholder approval.  In addition, removing
this restriction would afford the Fund greater flexibility in permitted borrowing
transactions, because bank lenders often require a pledge of assets as security for loans.
Eliminating this restriction would not affect the Fund's present investment practices.

Proposal 2k:  Real Estate and Commodities

      Certain Funds are currently subject to a fundamental investment policy prohibiting
them from investing in real estate, interests in oil, gas or other mineral-related programs
or leases, and/or commodities.  It is proposed that the current fundamental policies
regarding real estate and commodities be amended, and that any current fundamental policy
regarding investment in oil, gas and other mineral or development programs be eliminated.

      The proposed policy would permit the Funds to: (1) invest in debt securities secured
by real estate or interests in real estate, or issued by companies, including real estate
investment trusts, that invest in real estate or interests in real estate; (2) invest in
hedging instruments permitted by any of its other investment policies; and (3) buy and sell
options, futures, securities or other instruments backed by, or the investment return of
which is linked to changes in the price of physical commodities or currencies.  Many of the
Funds listed below already have this flexibility under their existing policies.  Therefore,
amending the existing policy as proposed is not expected to increase the risk of an
investment in a Fund.

      The purpose of this proposal is to clarify the Funds' permitted investments and to
conform the Fund's policy in this area to other Oppenheimer funds.  The Trustees believe
that standardized policies will assist the Fund and the Manager in maintaining compliance
with the various investment restrictions to which the Oppenheimer funds are subject.

      The Investment Company Act requires a mutual fund to have fundamental investment
policies governing investments in real estate and commodities.  Amendment of these
fundamental policies is unlikely to affect management of any Fund, and the Trustees believe
that the proposed fundamental policies on investing in real estate and commodities will
provide the Funds with the maximum flexibility consistent with the current legal
requirements.

      The limitation on investing in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
programs was originally adopted to address then existing state requirements in connection
with the registration of shares of the Funds for sale in a particular state or states.  As
a result of NSMIA, this state restriction no longer applies to the Funds.  The Trustees
recommend that shareholders eliminate this fundamental investment policy and conform the
Funds' policies in this area to other Oppenheimer funds. In addition, the Trustees believe
that its elimination could increase each Fund's flexibility when choosing investments in
the future.

      Although the Funds would be permitted to invest in interests in oil, gas or other
mineral exploration or development programs if shareholders approve this proposal, the
Funds currently have no intention of investing in such interests.  If the Trustees and
Manager believed that it was in the best interests of any Fund to invest in oil, gas or
other mineral exploration or development programs to a significant degree, that Fund's
prospectus would have to be updated to reflect such a change in policy.  Among other
things, the prospectuses would be updated to describe in detail the risks associated with
investments in interests in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or development programs,
which may have limited liquidity so that the Funds could have difficulty selling them at an
acceptable price when they want to sell them.

      In addition, the values of interests in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or
development programs may be more volatile than other investments.  Nonetheless, as
previously noted, no Fund currently has an intention of investing in such interests if
shareholders approve this proposal.  This change would have no impact on the current
investment strategies of the Funds.

      It would, however, allow each Fund the flexibility to deal with a physical commodity
if necessary as a result of the Fund's ownership of another security. In addition, the
amended policy would clarify a Fund's ability to purchase and sell options and futures
contracts and to purchase instruments that are backed by physical commodities.

      The proposed change conforms the restriction on investing in real estate to that of
other Oppenheimer funds and to current interpretations of the Investment Company Act.  This
change modernizes the present restriction by allowing a Fund to invest in certain newer
financial instruments that were precluded under the prior restriction, when that type of
investment is consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies. The proposed
policy combines real estate with commodities and commodity contracts.  The Funds' proposed
and current fundamental policies are set forth below.

                                Proposed Fundamental Policy
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 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.

Proposal 2l:  Senior Securities

      The Funds listed below are currently subject to a fundamental investment policy
limiting their investments in senior securities.  Under the Investment Company Act, an
open-end investment company is not permitted to issue senior securities, except under
certain limited conditions. The proposed amendment would modernize the language concerning
senior securities. This change would have no immediate impact on any Funds' investment
strategies and would give the Funds the maximum amount of flexibility to invest when such
an investment could be construed as a senior but is nonetheless permitted under the law or
by interpretations of the SEC.

      It is proposed that each Fund's current fundamental policy on issuing senior
securities, applicable to the Funds listed below, be amended to read as follows:



                                Proposed Fundamental Policy

The Fund cannot issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted

Proposal 2m:  Underwriting

      The Funds listed below are currently subject to the fundamental investment policy
listed below concerning underwriting.  The proposed amendment would modernize the language
concerning underwriting.  In addition, the revised restriction would conform it to the
underwriting policies of other Oppenheimer funds.  Under the proposed policy, a Fund would
not be prohibited from selling any security in its portfolio merely because the selling
Fund might technically be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act.  Making
this restriction consistent with that of the other Oppenheimer funds would simplify
portfolio management and ensure better compliance.

      The proposed change in this investment restriction would not alter any Fund's
investment strategy and would not have any immediate impact on any Fund's investment
strategies.  It is proposed that each Fund's current fundamental policy on underwriting,
applicable to the Funds listed below, be amended to read as follows:

                                Proposed Fundamental Policy
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 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.

Proposal 2n: Investments In Unseasoned Issuers


      The Board proposes to eliminate the fundamental restriction that the Growth Fund
cannot deviate from its percentage restrictions that apply to its investments in small,
unseasoned companies.

      This is another restriction that was imposed by state laws and is no longer
applicable nor is it required under the Investment Company Act. Without these legal
requirements, there is no reason to specifically limit the portfolio, particularly as a
fundamental policy.

      Although the Fund has no intention of investing beyond its current percentage
restriction, the policy below is unnecessary and elimination of it will conform the Fund's
policy to other Oppenheimer funds.  Eliminating the restriction as a fundamental policy
also allows flexibility by providing the Fund's Board the ability to change a restriction
without having to seek shareholder approval.  This increase in flexibility would not change
the Fund's current investment strategy.

      The Funds' current fundamental investment policy is set forth below.

                               in small, unseasoned companies, borrowing
                               for leverage and loans of portfolio
                               securities.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


      Proposal 2o:  Miscellaneous Investment Percentage Restrictions

      The Funds listed below are currently subject to certain fundamental investment
policies concerning various percentage limitations on investments of their respective
assets.  None of those existing policies is required under the Investment Company Act.  It
is proposed that these current fundamental investment policies be eliminated.

      Although the Funds have no intention of investing beyond any of their current
percentage restrictions, the policies below are unnecessary and elimination of these
policies will help conform each Fund's policy to other Oppenheimer funds.  In addition, the
elimination of each policy could increase that Fund's flexibility when choosing investments
in the future.  However, the portfolio manager would still have to comply with any of the
other percentage restrictions applicable to the Fund, whether fundamental or
non-fundamental.  Therefore, elimination of these policies is unlikely to affect management
of the Funds, and is not expected to materially increase the risk of an investment in the
Funds.  The Funds' current fundamental investment policies proposed to be eliminated are
set forth below.

MassMutual and (iii) another investor. No institution or person holds 5% or more of OAC's
outstanding common stock except MassMutual.  MassMutual has engaged in the life insurance
business since 1851.

      The common stock of OAC is divided into three classes. At December 31, 2004,
MassMutual held (i) all of the 21,600,000 shares of Class A voting stock, (ii) 12,642,025
shares of Class B voting stock, and (iii) 21,178,801 shares of Class C non voting stock in
OAC. This collectively represented 96.808% of the outstanding common stock and 97.889% of
the voting power of OAC as of that date. Certain officers and/or directors of the Manager
held (i) 366,486 shares of the Class B voting stock, representing 0.64% of the outstanding
common stock and 1.5% of the voting power, (ii) 183,039 shares of Class C non voting stock,
and (iii) options acquired without cash payment which, when they become exercisable, allow
the holders to purchase up to 10,641,501 shares of Class C non voting stock. That group
includes persons who serve as officers of the Funds and John V. Murphy, who serves as a
Trustee of the Funds.

      Holders of OAC Class B and Class C common stock may put (sell) their shares and
vested options to OAC or MassMutual at a formula price (based on, among other things, the
revenue, income, working capital, and excess cash of the Manager). MassMutual may exercise
call (purchase) options on all outstanding shares of both such classes of common stock and
vested options at the same formula price.

      The names and principal occupations of the executive officers and directors of the
Manager are as follows: John V. Murphy, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and a
director; Andrew Ruotolo, Executive Vice President and a director; Kurt Wolfgruber,
Executive Vice President, Chief Investment Officer and a director; Robert G. Zack,

                            MORE ON PROXY VOTING AND THE MEETING

General information about Proxy Voting

Solicitation of Proxies.  The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the proxy ballot,
notice of meeting, and this Proxy Statement and all other costs incurred with the
solicitation of proxies, including any additional solicitation by letter, telephone or
otherwise, will be paid by the Funds and will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of
relative net assets.  In addition to solicitations by mail, officers of the Fund or
officers and employees of the Transfer Agent, without extra compensation, may conduct
additional solicitations personally, by telephone or by any other electronic means
available.

      Proxies also may be solicited by a proxy solicitation firm hired at the Funds'
expense to assist in the solicitation of proxies.  Currently, if any Fund determines to
retain the services of a proxy solicitation firm, the Fund anticipates retaining Alamo
Direct Mail Services, Inc.  Any proxy solicitation firm engaged by a Fund, among other
things, will be: (i) required to maintain the confidentiality of all shareholder
information; (ii) prohibited from selling or otherwise disclosing shareholder information
to any third party; and (iii) required to comply with applicable telemarketing laws.

      If a Fund does engage a proxy solicitation firm, as the Meeting date approaches,
certain shareholders may receive telephone calls from a representative of the solicitation
firm if their vote has not yet been received.  Authorization to permit the solicitation
firm to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic instructions from shareholders of the
Funds.  Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with the
procedures set forth below.  These procedures have been designed to reasonably ensure that
the identity of the shareholder providing voting instructions is accurately determined and
that the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately recorded.

      In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the solicitation firm
representative is required to ask for each shareholder's full name, address, title (if the
shareholder is authorized to act on behalf of an entity, such as a corporation) and to
confirm that the shareholder has received the Proxy Statement and ballot in the mail.  If
the information solicited agrees with the information provided to the solicitation firm,
the solicitation firm representative has the responsibility to explain the process, read
the proposals listed on the proxy ballot, and ask for the shareholder's instructions on
such proposals.  The solicitation firm representative, although he or she is permitted to
answer questions about the process, is not permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to
vote.  The solicitation firm representative may read any recommendation set forth in the
Proxy Statement.  The solicitation firm representative will record the shareholder's
instructions.  Within 72 hours, the shareholder will be sent a confirmation of his or her
vote asking the shareholder to call the solicitation firm immediately if his or her
instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation.

      It is anticipated the cost of engaging a proxy solicitation firm will not exceed
$_____ plus the additional out-of-pocket costs, which may be substantial, incurred by each
in connection with contacting shareholders of that Fund that have not voted.  Brokers,
banks and other fiduciaries may be required to forward soliciting material to their
principals on behalf of the Fund and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies.
For those services, they will reimbursed by the Fund for their expenses to the extent the
Fund would have directly borne those expenses.

      If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, but does not wish to give his
or her proxy telephonically, the shareholder may still submit the proxy ballot originally
sent with the Proxy Statement in the postage paid envelope provided, via the internet or
attend in person.  Should shareholders require additional information regarding the proxy
ballot or a replacement proxy ballot, they may contact us toll-free at 1-800-225-5677
(1-800-CALL-OPP).  Any proxy given by a shareholder, whether in writing, by telephone or
via the internet, is revocable as described below under the paragraph titled "Revoking a
Proxy."

      Please take a few moments to complete your proxy ballot promptly. You may provide
your completed proxy ballot, via facsimile, telephonically, via the internet or by mailing
the proxy ballot in the postage paid envelope provided.  You also may cast your vote by
attending the Meeting in person if you are a record owner.

Telephone Voting.  The Funds have arranged to have votes recorded by telephone.  Please
have the proxy ballot in hand and call the number on the enclosed form and follow the
instructions.  After a shareholder provides his or her voting instructions, those
instructions are read back to the shareholder and the shareholder must confirm his or her
voting instructions before disconnecting the telephone call.  The voting procedures used in
connection with telephone voting are designed to reasonably authenticate the identity of
shareholders, to permit shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance
with their instructions and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

Internet Voting. You may also vote over the internet at www.vote.proxy-direct.com.  You
will be prompted to enter the control number on the enclosed proxy ballot. Follow the
instructions on the screen, using your proxy ballot as a guide.

Voting By Broker-Dealers. Shares owned of record by a broker-dealer for the benefit of its
customers ("street account shares") will be voted by the broker-dealer based on
instructions received from its customers.  If no instructions are received, the
broker-dealer may (if permitted by applicable stock exchange rules) give or authorize the
giving of a proxy, as record holder of such shares, to vote such shares in connection with
the proposals.  Beneficial owners of street account shares cannot vote at the meeting.
Only record owners may vote at the meeting.

      A "broker non-vote" is deemed to exist when a proxy received from a broker indicates
that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on that matter.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the relevant
proposal.

Voting by the Trustee for OppenheimerFunds-Sponsored Retirement Plans.  Shares held in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement accounts for which votes are not received as of the
last business day before the Meeting Date, will be voted by the trustee for such accounts
in the same proportion as Shares for which voting instructions from the Funds' other
shareholders have been timely received.

Quorum.

Proposal 1:  Electing Trustees:

(a)   Shareholders of Rochester National Municipals, New Jersey Municipal Fund and
               Pennsylvania Municipal Fund will vote together.  The presence in person or
               by proxy of the holders of record of one-third of the three Funds' aggregate
               total shares outstanding and entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the
               Meeting

(b)   Shareholders of Disciplined Allocation Fund and Value Fund will vote together.  The
               presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of more than 50% of
               the two Funds' aggregate total shares outstanding and entitled to vote
               constitutes a quorum.

(c)   Shareholders of all other Funds will vote separately.  The presence in person or by
               proxy of the holders of record of one-third of each Fund's shares
               outstanding and entitled to vote constitutes a quorum.

Proposal 2:  Changes to, Addition or Elimination of, Fundamental Investment Policies.

      Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each applicable sub-proposal in
Proposal 2.  Other than with respect to Money Market Fund the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of record of more than 50% of each Fund's shares outstanding and
entitled to vote constitutes a quorum.  For Money Market Fund the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of record of one-third of the Fund's shares outstanding and entitled
to vote constitutes "quorum."

      Shares over which broker-dealers have discretionary voting power, shares that
represent broker non-votes and shares whose proxies reflect an abstention on any item are
all counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether the
required quorum of shares exists for each proposal.

Required Vote

      Persons nominated as Trustees must receive a plurality of the votes cast, which means
that the nine (9) nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes for each Fund
cast at the Meeting will be elected.

      Each sub-proposal item contained in Proposal 2 requires the approval of a "majority
of the outstanding voting securities" of each Fund voting separately.  A "majority of the
outstanding voting securities" means the lesser of one more than half of the number of
shares that are issued and outstanding as of the Record Date or 67% of the voting shares of
the Fund present at the Special Meeting if more than 50% of the voting shares of the Fund
are present at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy. Abstentions will have the effect
of a "no" vote of obtaining requisite approval for the sub-proposals in Proposal 2.

      How are votes counted? The individuals named as proxies on the proxy ballots (or
their substitutes) will vote according to your directions if your proxy ballot is received
and properly executed, or in accordance with the instructions you provide if you vote by
telephone, internet or facsimile.  If you properly execute and return a proxy ballot but
fail to indicate how the votes should be cast, the proxy ballot will be voted in favor of
the election of each of the nominees named in this Proxy Statement for Trustee and in favor
of each sub-proposal in Proposal 2.

      Revoking a Proxy.  You may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is
exercised by (1) delivering a written notice to the Fund expressly revoking your proxy, (2)
signing and forwarding to the Funds a later-dated proxy, or (3) telephone or internet or
(4) attending the Meeting and casting your votes in person if you are a record owner.
Granted proxies typically will be voted at the final meeting, but may be voted at an
adjourned meeting if appropriate. Please be advised that the deadline for revoking your
proxy by telephone or the internet is 3:00 P.M. (ET) on the last business day before the
Meeting.

      Shareholder Proposals.  The Funds are not required and do not intend to hold
shareholder meetings on a regular basis.  Special meetings of shareholders may be called
from time to time by either a Fund or the shareholders (for certain matters and under
special conditions described in the Funds' Statements of Additional Information).  Under
the proxy rules of the SEC, shareholder proposals that meet certain conditions may be
included in a fund's proxy statement for a particular meeting.  Those rules currently
require that for future meetings, the shareholder must be a record or beneficial owner of
Fund shares either (i) with a value of at least $2,000 or (ii) in an amount representing at
least 1% of the fund's securities to be voted, at the time the proposal is submitted and
for one year prior thereto, and must continue to own such shares through the date on which
the meeting is held.  Another requirement relates to the timely receipt by a Fund of any
such proposal. Under those rules, a proposal must have been submitted a reasonable time
before the Fund began to print and mail this Proxy Statement in order to be included in
this Proxy Statement.  A proposal submitted for inclusion in a Fund's proxy material for
the next special meeting after the meeting to which this Proxy Statement relates must be
received by the Fund a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail the proxy
materials for that meeting. Notice of shareholder proposals to be presented at the Meeting
must have been received within a reasonable time before the Fund began to mail this Proxy
Statement.  The fact that the Fund receives a proposal from a qualified shareholder in a
timely manner does not ensure its inclusion in the proxy material because there are other
requirements under the proxy rules for such inclusion.

Shareholder Communications to the Board

      Shareholders who desire to communicate generally with the Board should address their
correspondence to the Board of Trustees (or Directors, as applicable) of the applicable
Fund and may submit their correspondence by mail to the Fund at 6803 South Tucson Way,
Centennial, C) 80112, attention Secretary of the Fund; and if the correspondence is
intended for a particular Director/Trustee, the shareholder should so indicate.

Reports to Shareholders and Financial Statements

      The Annual Report to Shareholders of each Fund, including financial statements of the
Fund, has previously been sent to shareholders.  Upon request, each Fund's most recent
annual and subsequent semi-annual report (if available) is available at no cost.  To
request a report, please call the Funds toll-free at 1-800-CALL OPP (1-800-225-5677), or
write to the Funds at OppenheimerFunds Services, P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado
80217-5270.



      To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Funds mail only one
copy of each report to shareholders having the same last name and address on the Funds'
records.  The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits the Funds
through reduced mailing expenses.

      If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials or request householding in
the future, you may call the transfer agent at 1.800.647.7374.  You may also notify the
transfer agent in writing at 6803 South Tucson Way, Centennial, Colorado 80112. Individual
copies of prospectuses and reports will be sent to you within 30 days after the transfer
agent receives your request to stop householding.

      OTHER MATTERS

      The Trustees do not intend to bring any matters before the Meeting other than the
Proposals described in this Proxy Statement and the Trustees and the Manager are not aware
of any other matters to be brought before the Meeting by others.  Because matters not known
at the time of the solicitation may come before the Meeting, the proxy as solicited confers
discretionary authority with respect to such matters as properly come before the Meeting,
including any adjournment or adjournments thereof, and it is the intention of the persons
named as attorneys-in-fact in the proxy (or their substitutes) to vote the proxy in
accordance with their judgment on such matters.

      In the event a quorum is not present or sufficient votes in favor of one of the
proposals set forth in the Notice of Meeting of Shareholders or is not received by the date
of the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy (or their substitutes) may propose
and approve one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of
proxies.  All such adjournments will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned.  The
persons named as proxies on the proxy ballots (or their substitutes) will vote the Shares
present in person or by proxy (including broker non-votes and abstentions) in favor of such
an adjournment if they determine additional solicitation is warranted and in the interests
of the Funds' shareholders.  A vote may be taken on a proposal in this proxy statement
prior to any such adjournment if a quorum is present, sufficient votes for its approval
have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

                                    By Order of the Board of Trustees,

                                    Robert G. Zack, Secretary
                                    June 20, 2005
