                                               Supplement dated February 18, 2005 to the
                                                   Prospectus dated October 25, 2004


This supplement amends the Prospectus dated October 25, 2004.


The Prospectus is revised as follows:

1.       The following new section is added to the end of section of the Prospectus captioned "Risks of Foreign Investing" in the
         section "ABOUT THE FUND - ABOUT THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS - OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES" on page 13.

         Additionally, if a fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities, it might expose the fund to
         "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of the differences in value of foreign securities that
         might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a foreign security is traded
         and the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone
         arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value
         pricing" to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities under certain circumstances, to reflect what the Manager
         and the Board believe to be their fair value may help deter those activities.

2.       The section titled "Pending Litigation" at the end of section of the Prospectus captioned "ABOUT THE FUND -  HOW THE FUND IS
         MANAGED," on page 16, is deleted and replaced with the following:

         PENDING LITIGATION.  A consolidated amended complaint has been filed as putative derivative and class actions against the
         Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent, as well as 51 of the Oppenheimer funds (collectively the "funds") including the
         Fund, 31 present and former Directors or Trustees and 9 present and former officers of certain of the Funds. This complaint,
         filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005, consolidates into a single
         action and amends six individual previously-filed putative derivative and class action complaints. Like those prior
         complaints, the complaint alleges that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution and other costs, improperly used
         assets of the funds in the form of directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of the
         funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of fund assets to make those payments in violation of the Investment Company
         Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Also, like those prior complaints, the complaint further alleges that by
         permitting and/or participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers breached their fiduciary duties to
         Fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act and at common law.  The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and
         punitive damages, rescission of the funds' investment advisory agreements, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of
         attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

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

3.       In the section titled "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?", the following is added after the chart depicting Class A share
         sales charges on page 21.

         Due to rounding, the actual sales charge for a particular transaction may be higher or lower than the rates listed above.

4.       Effective March 18, 2005, the first two sentences of the first paragraph of the section titled "Right of Accumulation" in
         the section titled "Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges?" on page 22 are deleted and replaced with the following:

         To qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making (as
         shown in the table above), you can add the value of any Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer
         funds that you or your spouse currently own, or are currently purchasing, to the value of your Class A share purchase. Your
         Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which you did not pay a sales charge
         will not be counted for this purpose.

5.       Effective March 18, 2005, the first paragraph of the section titled "Letters of Intent" in the section titled "Can You
         Reduce Class A Sales Charges?" on page 22 is deleted and replaced with the following:

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

6.       The section titled "How to Exchange Shares" in the section of the Prospectus captioned "ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT," on page 32, is
         deleted and replaced with the following:

         How to Exchange Shares

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

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

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

                  You can find a list of the Oppenheimer funds that are currently available for exchanges in the Statement of
         Additional Information or you can obtain a list by calling a service representative at 1.800.225.5677. The funds available
         for exchange can change from time to time. There are a number of other special conditions and limitations that apply to
         certain types of exchanges. In some cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. In general, a contingent
         deferred sales charge (CDSC) is not imposed on exchanges of shares that are subject to a CDSC. However, if you exchange
         shares that are subject to a CDSC, the CDSC holding period will be carried over to the acquired shares, and the CDSC may be
         imposed if those shares are redeemed before the end of that holding period. These conditions and circumstances are described
         in detail in the "How to Exchange Shares" section in the Statement of Additional Information.

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

         Written Exchange Requests. Send an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form, signed by all owners of the account, to the
                  Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares for which share certificates have been issued
                  cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the certificates with the request.

         Telephone and Internet Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either by calling a service representative
                  or by using PhoneLink by calling 1.800.225.5677. You may submit internet exchange requests on the OppenheimerFunds
                  internet website, at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. You must have obtained a user I.D. and password to make transactions
                  on that website. Telephone and/or internet exchanges may be made only between accounts that are registered with the
                  same name(s) and address. Shares for which share certificates have been issued may not be exchanged by telephone or
                  the internet.

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

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

         ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON FREQUENT PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES?

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

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

o        Timing of Exchanges.  Exchanged shares are normally redeemed from one fund and the proceeds are reinvested in the fund
                  selected for exchange on the same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent or its agent (such as a financial
                  intermediary holding the investor's shares in an "omnibus" or "street name" account) receives an exchange request
                  that conforms to these policies. The request must be received by the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day,
                  which is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, but may be earlier on some days. However, the Transfer Agent may delay the
                  reinvestment of proceeds from an exchange for up to five business days if it determines, in its discretion, that an
                  earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds to the receiving fund would be detrimental to either the fund from
                  which the exchange is made or the fund to which the exchange is made.

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

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

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

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

o        Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges.  The Transfer Agent may send a written warning to direct shareholders who
                  the Transfer Agent believes may be engaging in excessive purchases, redemptions and/or exchange activity and
                  reserves the right to suspend or terminate the ability to purchase shares and/or exchange privileges for any account
                  that the Transfer Agent determines, in carrying out these policies and in the exercise of its discretion, has
                  engaged in disruptive or excessive trading activity.

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


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

         Therefore the Transfer Agent might not be able to detect excessive short term trading activity facilitated by, or in
         accounts maintained in, the "omnibus" or "street name" accounts of a financial intermediary. However, the Transfer Agent
         will attempt to monitor overall purchase and redemption activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns that may
         suggest excessive trading by the underlying owners.  If evidence of possible excessive trading activity is observed by the
         Transfer Agent, the financial intermediary that is the registered owner will be asked to review account activity, and to
         confirm to the Transfer Agent and the fund that appropriate action has been taken to curtail any excessive trading activity.
         However, the Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in omnibus or street name accounts
         ultimately depends on the capability and cooperation of the financial intermediaries controlling those accounts.

         The Fund's Board has adopted additional policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive exchanges
         and purchase and redemption activity. Those additional policies and procedures will take effect on June 20, 2005:

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

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

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

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

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



February 18, 2005                                                                               PS0300.034



                                                     OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL INCOME FUND
                                               Supplement dated February 18, 2005 to the
                         Statement of Additional Information dated October 25, 2004, revised February 2, 2005


This supplement amends the Statement of Additional Information dated October 25, 2004, revised February 2, 2005.

The Statement of Additional Information is revised as follows:

1.       Effective March 18, 2005, the first three paragraphs of the section titled "Letters of Intent" on page 53 are deleted and
         replaced with the following:

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

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

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

2.       The following is added to the end of the section titled "Waivers of Initial and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain
