Dear Oppenheimer Bond Fund Shareholder,

We have scheduled a shareholder meeting on January 14, 2005 for you to decide
upon some important proposals for the Fund. Your ballot card and a detailed
statement of the issues are enclosed with this letter.

Your Board of Trustees believes the matters being proposed for approval are
in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and recommends a vote
"for" the election of Trustees and for the Proposal.  Regardless of the
number of shares you own, it is important that your shares be represented and
voted.  So we urge you to consider these issues carefully and make your vote
count.

How do you vote?

To cast your vote, simply mark, sign and date the enclosed proxy ballot and
return it in the postage-paid envelope today. You also may vote by telephone
by following the instructions on the proxy ballot.  Using a touch-tone
telephone to cast your vote saves you time and helps reduce the Fund's
expenses.  If you vote by phone, you do not need to mail the proxy ballot.

Remember, it can be expensive for the Fund--and ultimately for you as a
shareholder--to remail ballots if not enough responses are received to
conduct the meeting.  If your vote is not received before the scheduled
meeting, you may receive a telephone call asking you to vote.

What are the issues?

o  Election of Trustees.  You are being asked to consider and approve the
   election of 10 Trustees.  You will find detailed information on the
   Trustees in the enclosed proxy statement

o  Approval to Modify the Fund's Investment Objective.  Your approval is
   requested to modify the Fund's investment objective

Please read the enclosed proxy statement for complete details on these
proposals.  Of course, if you have any questions, please contact your
financial advisor, or call us at 1.800.708.7780.  As always, we appreciate
your confidence in OppenheimerFunds and look forward to serving you for many
years to come.

                                          Sincerely,


                                          [John V. Murphy's signature]

      Statement will be mailed to shareholders of record on or about November

A.    You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

A.    The Trustees recommend that you vote:

1.    FOR election of all nominees as Trustees; and

Q.    What are the Reasons for the Proposed Modification to the Fund's
      Investment Objective?

A.    As described  more fully in Proposal 2 below, the Board of Trustees
      believes that the proposed  modification  to the Fund's Investment

(the "Fund") in connection with the solicitation by the Fund's Board of Trustees

1.    To Elect a Board of Trustees                     All

      Investment Objective
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

     At the  Meeting,  ten (10)  Trustees  are to be elected.  If  elected,  the
Trustees will serve indefinite terms until their successors are properly elected
and qualified. The persons named as attorneys-in-fact in the enclosed proxy have
advised  the  Fund  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 of the  nominees  named
below.

     As a Massachusetts  business trust, the Fund is not required,  and does 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 of
Trustees 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.

     Although  the  Fund  will  not  normally   hold  annual   meetings  of  its
shareholders,  it may hold  shareholder  meetings from time to time on important
matters,  and shareholders  have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee
or to take other action described in the Fund's  Declaration of Trust.  Also, if
at any time,  less than a  majority  of the  Trustees  holding  office  has been
elected by the  shareholders,  the Trustees  then in office will promptly call a
shareholders' meeting for the purpose of electing Trustees.

     Each of the nominees currently serves as a Trustee of the Fund. Each of the
nominees has consented to be named as such in this proxy  statement and to serve
as Trustee if elected.  All present  Trustees of the Fund have  previously  been
elected by the Fund's shareholders,  except for Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Malone who
were  appointed  as  Trustees  effective  June 1,  2002 and Mr.  Murphy  who was
appointed as a Trustee  effective  October 2001.  Each of the Trustees serves as
trustee or  director  of other  funds in the  Oppenheimer  family of funds.  The
Oppenheimer funds on which each of the Trustees currently serves are referred to
as "Board II Funds" in this proxy statement.

     Except for Mr. Murphy,  each of the Trustees is an  independent  trustee of
the Fund ("Independent  Trustee"). Mr. Murphy is an "interested person" (as that

A. General Information Regarding the Board of Trustees.

     The Fund is  governed  by a Board of  Trustees,  which is  responsible  for
protecting  the  interests  of  shareholders.  The  Trustees  meet  periodically
throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance and
review  the  actions  of the  Manager,  which  is  responsible  for  the  Fund's
day-to-day operations.  Ten meetings of the Trustees were held during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2003. Each of the incumbent  Trustees was present for at
least 75% of the aggregate  number of Board of Trustees  meetings and 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 standing Audit, Review and Governance
Committees.

     The Audit  Committee  is  comprised  solely of  Independent  Trustees.  The
members of the Audit  Committee  are  Edward L.  Cameron  (Chairman),  George C.
Bowen, Robert J. Malone and F. William Marshall,  Jr. The Audit Committee held 6
meetings  during the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2003.  The Audit  Committee
furnishes the Board with  recommendations  regarding the selection of the Fund's
independent  auditors.  Other main functions of the Audit Committee include, but
are not limited to: (i) reviewing  the scope and results of financial  statement
audits  and the audit  fees  charged;  (ii)  reviewing  reports  from the Fund's
independent  auditors  regarding the Fund's internal  accounting  procedures and
controls;  (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's Internal Audit Department;
(iv) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent
auditors and its  Independent  Trustees;  and (v) exercising all other functions
outlined in the Audit Committee Charter,  including but not limited to reviewing
the independence of the Fund's independent  auditors and the pre-approval of the
performance  by the  Fund's  independent  auditors  of any audit  and  non-audit
service,  including  tax  service,  for the Fund  and the  Manager  and  certain
affiliates of the Manager that is not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

     The members of the Review Committee are Jon S. Fossel (Chairman), Robert G.
Avis, Sam Freedman, and Beverly Hamilton. The Review Committee, comprised solely
of Independent  Trustees,  held 6 meetings during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2003. Among other functions,  the Review Committee reviews reports and makes
recommendations  to the Board  concerning  the fees paid to the Fund's  transfer
agent and the Manager  and the  services  provided  to the Fund by the  transfer
agent and the Manager.  The Review Committee also reviews the Fund's  investment
performance  and  policies  and  procedures  adopted by the Fund to comply  with
Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

     The  members of the  Governance  Committee  are Robert  Malone  (Chairman),
William Armstrong,  Beverly Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Governance
Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees.  The Governance Committee
was  established in August 2004 and did not hold any meetings  during the Fund's
fiscal year ended  December 31, 2003.  The  Governance  Committee is expected to
consider general governance matters, including a formal process for shareholders
to send  communications  to the Board and the  qualifications  of candidates for
board  positions  including   consideration  of  any  candidate  recommended  by
shareholders.

     The  Governance  Committee has not yet adopted a charter,  but  anticipates
that  it  will  do so by the  end of  this  calendar  year.  The  Committee  has
temporarily  adopted  the  process  previously  adopted  by the Audit  Committee
regarding shareholder  submission of nominees for board positions.  Shareholders
may submit names of individuals,  accompanied by complete and properly supported
resumes,   for  the  Governance   Committee's   consideration  by  mailing  such
information  to the  Committee in care of the Fund.  The  Committee may consider
such  persons  at such  time as it  meets to  consider  possible  nominees.  The
Committee,  however,  reserves sole  discretion to determine the  candidates for
trustees and independent  trustees to recommend to the Board and/or shareholders
and may identify  candidates  other than those  submitted by  Shareholders.  The
Committee  may,  but need not,  consider  the advice and  recommendation  of the
Manager and its  affiliates  in  selecting  nominees.  The full Board elects new
trustees except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

     Shareholders  who  desire  to  communicate  with the Board  should  address
correspondence  to the Board of  Trustees  of  Oppenheimer  Bond Fund,  or to an
individual  Trustee  c/o the  Secretary  of the Fund at 6803 South  Tucson  Way,
Centennial,  CO 80112 and may  submit  their  correspondence  electronically  at
WWW.OPPENHEIMERFUNDS.COM  under the caption "contact us." If your correspondence
is intended for a particular  Trustee,  please  indicate the name of the Trustee
for whom it is intended. The sender should indicate in the address whether it is
intended for the entire board,  the  Independent  Trustees as a group,  or to an
individual  Trustee.  The  Governance  Committee  will  consider  if a different
process should be recommended to the Board.

     Based on the Audit Committee's recommendation, the Board of Trustees of the
Fund,  including  a majority  of the  Independent  Trustees,  at a meeting  held
December 15, 2003,  selected  Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as auditors
of the Fund for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2004.  Deloitte also serves
as auditors  for certain  other funds for which the Manager  acts as  investment
advisor and formerly (until 12/31/03) provided certain auditing and non-auditing
services for the Manager, the Manager's parent company and its subsidiaries.

1. Audit Fees.

     During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 2003, Deloitte
performed  audit  services  for the  Fund  including  the  audit  of the  Fund's
financial  statements,  review of the  Fund's  annual  report  and  registration
statement amendment,  consultation on financial accounting and reporting matters
and meetings with the Board of Trustees.  The aggregate  fees billed by Deloitte
for those  services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were $15,500 and
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 were $16,000.

2. Audit-Related Fees

     There were no audit-related  fees billed by Deloitte for services  rendered
to the Fund for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

     During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003,  Deloitte  billed
the Manager or the Manager's  parent  company and certain  affiliated  companies
that provide ongoing services to the Fund.  Deloitte was paid a total of $65,000
in 2002 and $75,000 in 2003 for those services.

     Such fees were paid for due diligence  related to mergers and acquisitions,
accounting  consultations and audits in connection with  acquisitions,  internal
control reviews and consultation  concerning  financial accounting and reporting
standards.

3. Tax Fees

     There were no tax fees billed by Deloitte for services rendered to the Fund
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

     Deloitte  provided certain tax accounting and other consulting  services to
the Manager or the Manager's  parent  company and certain  affiliated  companies
that provide ongoing  services to the Fund.  Deloitte was paid a total of $6,500
in 2002 and $11,600 in 2003 for those services.

     Such fees were paid for tax  compliance,  tax planning and tax advice.  Tax
compliance  generally involves  preparation of original and amended tax returns,
claims for a refund and tax  payment-planning  services.  Tax  planning  and tax
advice includes  assistance  with tax audits and appeals,  tax advice related to
mergers and  acquisitions  and  requests  for rulings or  technical  advice from
taxing authorities.

4. All Other Fees.

     There were no fees billed by  Deloitte  for  services  rendered to the Fund
other than the services  described above under "Audit Fees" for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

     During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003,  Deloitte  billed
$3,500 and $0, respectively,  to the Manager or the Manager's parent company and
certain affiliated companies that provide ongoing services to the Fund.

     Such fees were paid for  services  provided to the Fund's Board of Trustees
with respect to the annual renewal of the Fund's investment advisory agreement.

     During its regularly scheduled periodic meetings,  the Audit Committee will
pre-approve all audit,  audit-related,  tax and other services to be provided by
Deloitte.  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 such  pre-approved are presented
to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

     Pre-approval  of  non-audit  services  is  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 it principal  accountant
during the 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 and
approved prior to the completion of the audit.

     The Audit  Committee  approved  100% of the services  under  "Audit-Related
Fees,"  "Tax  Fees"  and  "All  Other  Fees"  since  the  effective  date of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

     As set forth above,  the  aggregate  non-audit  fees billed by Deloitte for
services  rendered to the Manager as well as the  Manager's  parent  company and
certain  affiliated  companies that provide ongoing services to the Fund for the
fiscal  years  ended  December  31,  2002 and 2003  were  $75,000  and  $86,600,
respectively.

     The Audit Committee of the Fund's Board of Trustees has considered  whether
the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Manager as well as
the  Manager's  parent  company and certain  affiliated  companies  that provide
ongoing  services  to the Fund that were not  pre-approved  is  compatible  with
maintaining Deloitte's independence.

     Representatives  of Deloitte  are not expected to be present at the Meeting
but will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

C. Additional Information Regarding Trustees.

     The Fund's  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  Board II Fund for which  they serve as a
director or trustee pays a share of those expenses.

     The  officers  of the Fund and one  Trustee  of the Fund (Mr.  Murphy)  are
affiliated  with the  Manager  and  receive no salary or fee from the Fund.  The
remaining  Trustees of the Fund received the  compensation  shown below from the
Fund with  respect to the  Fund's  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  2003.  The
compensation  from all 39 of the Board II Funds  (including the Fund) represents
compensation  received  for  serving  as a director  or trustee  and member of a
committee (if  applicable) of the boards of those funds during the calendar year
2003.

1. Aggregate Compensation from Fund includes fees and deferred compensation, if
   any, for a Trustee.
2. Includes $1,622 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
3. "Total  Compensation  From Fund and Fund Complex" paid to Mrs. Hamilton and
   Mr. Malone was paid by all the Board II Funds, with the exception of
   Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund for which they currently do not serve
   as Trustees (total of 37 Oppenheimer funds at December 31, 2003).
4. Includes $50,363 compensation (of which 100% was deferred under a deferred
   compensation  plan) paid to Mrs. Hamilton for serving as a  trustee by two
   open-end investment companies (MassMutual Institutional Funds and MML Series
   Investment Fund) the investment adviser for which is the indirect parent
   company of the Fund's Manager.  The Manager also serves as the Sub-Advisor to
   the MassMutual International Equity Fund, a series of MassMutual
   Institutional Funds.
5. Includes $1,622 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
6. Includes $48,000 compensation paid to Mr. Marshall for serving as a trustee
   by two open-end investment companies (MassMutual Institutional Funds and MML
   Series Investment Fund) the investment adviser for which is the indirect
   parent company of the Fund's Manager.  The Manager also serves as the
   Sub-Advisor to the MassMutual International Equity Fund, a series of
   MassMutual Institutional Funds.
*  For purposes of this section only, "Fund Complex" includes the Oppenheimer
   funds, MassMutual Institutional Funds and MML Series Investment Fund in
   accordance with the instructions  for  Form  N-1A.  The Manager and the Fund
   do not consider MassMutual Institutional Funds and MML  Series  Investment
   Fund to be part of the OppenheimerFunds "Fund Complex" as that term may be
   otherwise interpreted.

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

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

D. Information regarding Officers.

     All officers  serve at the  pleasure of the Board.  As of November 1, 2004,
the Trustees,  nominees for Trustee and officers,  individually  and as a group,
beneficially  owned less than 1% of the outstanding  Class A shares and no Class
B, Class C, Class N or Class Y shares of the Fund. The foregoing  statement does
not  reflect  ownership  of shares  of the Fund  held of  record by an  employee
benefit plan for  employees of the Manager,  other than the shares  beneficially
owned under the plan by the officers of the Fund listed above. In addition, each
Independent Trustee,  and his or her family members,  does not own securities of
either the Manager or OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc. (the "Distributor" of
the Board II Funds) or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled
by or under common control with the Manager or Distributor.

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


PROPOSAL 2: TO APPROVE A MODIFICATION TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

     The Board of Trustees has approved, and recommends that shareholders of the
Fund approve, a proposal to modify the fundamental  investment  objective of the
Fund. The current  investment  objective of the Fund is to "seek a high level of
current  income by  investing  mainly in debt  instruments."  If the proposal is
approved,  the Fund will modify its investment objective so that it "seeks total
return by  investing  mainly in debt  instruments."  Total  return is  generally
comprised of both capital appreciation and current income. The Board of Trustees
believes the proposed  modification is in the best interests of the Fund and its
shareholders.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Current Investment Objective            Proposed Investment Objective
      ----------------------------            -----------------------------
The Fund seeks a high level of current   The Fund seeks total return by
income by investing mainly in debt       investing mainly in debt instruments.
instruments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     If the proposal is approved, the Fund will try to achieve the goal of total
return  through  current  income  and  capital   appreciation   consistent  with
disciplined  risk taking.  The Fund will continue to invest mainly in investment
grade debt  securities.  The Board of Trustees  believes that making the goal of
total return an explicit part of the Fund's  investment  strategies will provide
the Fund more  investment  flexibility  as market  conditions  change  (favoring
income or capital growth at various times) and help achieve better risk-adjusted
and  relative  returns.  The  Board of  Trustees  does  not  believe  that  this
modification to the investment  objective will result in a significant change in
the Fund's current  investment  strategy.  Along with the Fund's name change and
investment policy modifications  discussed below, the modification to the Fund's
investment  objective  will,  however,  allow  the Fund to better  compete  more
directly against a number of large, general-purpose bond funds.

     In addition to approving the investment objective  modification,  the Board
of Trustees has also approved changing the name of the Fund to "Oppenheimer Core
Bond Fund" and certain  investment  policies of the Fund.  These changes will be
effective on or about January 21, 2005 and are not  contingent on  shareholders'
approval of the Fund's investment objective modification. The Board approved (i)
limiting the Fund's investments in below-investment grade securities to 20% from
35% and (ii)  the Fund  seeking  to  maintain  an  average  effective  portfolio
duration of three to six years and an average  credit quality of "A-" or higher.
You should be aware that as a result of these changes,  the Fund may be expected
to have a lower yield.  The Board of Trustees  believes these changes are in the
best  interest of the Fund and its  shareholders  and would  reduce the over-all
risk of the Fund.

                        THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
                        THAT YOU APPROVE THE PROPOSAL DESCRIBED ABOVE


                                 INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

     The  Manager,  the  Distributor  and the  Transfer  Agent.  Subject  to the
authority  of the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Manager  is  responsible  for  the
day-to-day management of the Fund's business pursuant to its investment advisory
agreement with the Fund. OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor"),
a wholly owned  subsidiary  of the Manager,  is the general  distributor  of the
Fund's  shares.  The  Manager  and the  Distributor  are  located  at Two  World
Financial  Center,  225 Liberty  Street,  11th Floor,  New York, NY  10281-1008.
OppenheimerFunds  Services,  a division  of the  Manager,  located at 6803 South
Tucson  Way,  Centennial,  CO 80112,  serves  as the  transfer  and  shareholder
servicing  agent  (the  "Transfer  Agent")  for the Fund,  for which it was paid
$1,730,004 by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

     The Manager  (including  affiliates  and  subsidiaries)  currently  manages
investment companies,  including the Oppenheimer funds, with assets of more than
$155 billion as of September 30, 2004,  including  other  Oppenheimer  with more
than 7 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Oppenheimer   Acquisition  Corp.   ("OAC"),  a  holding  company  controlled  by
Massachusetts  Mutual Life Insurance Company  ("MassMutual").  The Manager,  the
Distributor  and OAC are  located  at Two  World  Financial  Center,225  Liberty
Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10281-1008. MassMutual is located at 1295 State
Street,  Springfield,  Massachusetts  01111. OAC acquired the Manager on October
22, 1990.  As indicated  below,  the common stock of OAC is owned by (i) certain
officers  and/or  directors of the Manager,  (ii)  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 September  30,
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 Fund and John V.
Murphy, who serves as a Trustee of the Fund.

     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.  Since October 1999,  the only  transaction by a person who will
serve,  if  elected,  as a Trustee  of the Fund was by Mr.  Bowen.  During  that
period, Mr. Bowen sold 11,420 Class B shares to MassMutual for a cash payment of
$357,789 and  surrendered  for  cancellation  237,640  options to MassMutual for
combined cash payments of $1,978,140.

consolidation of these mailings, called householding,  benefits the Fund through
reduced mailing expenses.

                      FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE MEETING

     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  equally by the Fund and the
Manager.  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 or by telephone.

     Proxies  also may be solicited  by a proxy  solicitation  firm hired at the
Fund's expense to assist in the solicitation of proxies.  Currently, if the 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 the 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 the 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 Fund.  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 $25,000 plus the additional out-of-pocket costs, that may be substantial,
incurred in connection with contacting those  shareholders  that have not voted.
Brokers,  banks and other  fiduciaries  may be  required  to forward  soliciting
material to their  principals and to obtain  authorization  for the execution of
proxies.  For  those  services,  they will be  reimbursed  by the Fund for their
expenses.

     If the 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 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  1.800.708.7780.  Any proxy  given by a  shareholder,
whether in writing or by  telephone,  is revocable as described  below under the
paragraph entitled "Revoking a Proxy."

     Please take a few moments to complete your proxy ballot  promptly.  You may
provide your completed proxy ballot via facsimile,  telephonically 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  Fund  has  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.

     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) vote, as record holder of such shares, for the election of
Trustees and on the Proposal in the same proportion as that broker-dealer  votes
street account shares for which it has received  voting  instructions in time to
be voted.  Beneficial  owners of street  account shares cannot vote in person at
the meeting. Only record owners may vote in person 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 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 Fund's other  shareholders have been timely
received.

     Quorum.  The  presence  in person or by proxy of the  holders  of record of
one-third of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at
the Meeting for  purposes of  electing  Trustees.  The  presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of more than 50% of the shares  outstanding and entitled to
vote  constitutes a quorum at the meeting for purposes of approving the proposal
to modify the Fund's investment objective. 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.

     Required  Vote.  Persons  nominated as Trustees must receive a plurality of
the votes cast,  which means that the ten (10)  nominees  receiving  the highest
number of  affirmative  votes cast at the Meeting will be elected as long as the
votes FOR a nominee exceed the votes AGAINST that nominee.  Approval of Proposal
2  requires  the  affirmative  vote of a  "majority  of the  outstanding  voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Fund voting in the
aggregate  and not by class.  This which  means the lesser of (i) 67% or more of
the  voting  securities  of the  Fund  present  or  represented  by proxy at the
Meeting,  if the  holders  of more  than 50% of the  Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities  are present or  represented  by proxy,  or (ii) more than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

     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.  You may direct the proxy
holders to vote or not vote your  shares on the  proposal  to elect  Trustees by
checking the appropriate box "For" or "Withhold Authority" or you may direct the
proxy holders to vote your shares on Proposal 2 by checking the  appropriate box
"FOR" or "AGAINST," or instruct them not to vote those shares on the proposal by
checking the "ABSTAIN" box. Alternatively,  you may simply sign, date and return
your proxy  ballot with no specific  instructions  as to the  proposals.  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
Proposal 2.

     Shares of the Fund may be held by certain  institutional  investors for the
benefit of their clients. If the institutional  investor does not timely receive
voting   instructions  from  its  clients  with  respect  to  such  Shares,  the
institutional  investor may be authorized to vote such Shares, as well as Shares
the  institutional  investor  itself owns, in the same  proportion as Shares for
which voting instructions from clients are timely received.

     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 Fund a later-dated proxy,
or (3)  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  is 3:00 P.M.  (ET) on the last
business day before the Meeting.

     Shareholder Proposals. The Fund is not required and does not intend to hold
shareholder meetings on a regular basis. Special meetings of shareholders may be
called  from time to time by either the Fund or the  shareholders  (for  certain
matters and under  special  conditions  described in the Statement 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 the
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 the 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.

                                        OTHER MATTERS

     The  Trustees do not intend to bring any matters  before the Meeting  other
than  Proposals  1 and 2 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 or
more  Proposals  set forth in the  Notice of  Meeting  of  Shareholders  are 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 Fund's shareholders.  A vote may be taken on one or more
of the  proposals 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
                                    November 22, 2004
