 Re: Registration Statement on Form N-14 for Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds,
     with respect to Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA ("Core Bond Fund/VA");
     Proxy Materials for Panorama Series Fund, Inc., with respect to
     Government Securities Portfolio ("Panorama Fund")

To the Securities and Exchange Commission:

     Enclosed  for  filing  with  the   Securities   and   Exchange   Commission
("Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), is
a  Registration  Statement  on  Form  N-14  (the  "Registration  Statement")  of
Oppenheimer  Variable Account Funds.  The  Registration  Statement will register
shares  of  the   Registrant  to  be  issued  in  the  proposed   reorganization
("Reorganization")  of Panorama Fund with and into Core Bond Fund/VA.  Core Bond
Fund/VA and Panorama Fund have the same  investment  adviser  (OppenheimerFunds,
Inc.).

     Each Fund's  fiscal year end is December 31, 2007.  To assure that Panorama
Fund  shareholders  have the most current  information  on which to consider the
Reorganization,  the Registration  Statement provides  performance,  expense and
other  information  as of the Funds'  fiscal year ended  December 31, 2007.  The
Funds'  financial  statements  for the fiscal year ended  December  31, 2007 are
currently being audited and, consequently,  are not available for inclusion with
the Registration Statement. We expect the Funds' audited financial statements to
be  available  on or about  February  15,  2008,  after  which the  Registration
Statement will be amended to (1) include the Funds' audited financial statements
in the statement of additional  information relating to the Reorganization;  (2)
file  the  auditors'  consent  as  an  exhibit;  and  (3)  update  any  expense,
performance or other  information  that has changed as a result of the audit. In
accordance  with  the  instructions  to Item  14(2)  of  Form  N-14,  pro  forma
financials  for  Core  Bond  Fund/VA,  reflecting  the  effect  of the  proposed
Reorganization, are not required.

     The  Agreement  and  Plan of  Reorganization  filed  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement and the disclosure in the Proxy Statement and Prospectus
concerning the  Reorganization  closely follow the  corresponding  disclosure in
other registration statements recently filed on Form N-14 in connection with the
reorganizations of several  Oppenheimer funds with other Oppenheimer funds, such
as the Registration  Statement on Form N-14 of Oppenheimer Capital  Appreciation
Fund (333-145170) filed with the Commission on September 10, 2007.

     After the N-14/A amendment,  discussed above, is filed with the Commission,
we anticipate  requesting that the Commission staff accelerate the effectiveness
of the  Registration  Statement  to occur on or about  February  18,  2008.  The
solicitation  of Panorama  Fund  shareholders  is  expected to commence  shortly
thereafter.

     In accordance  with the general  instructions to Form N-14, the preliminary
proxy material which forms a part of the Registration  Statement is deemed to be
filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No filing fee
is due because the  Registrant  previously  filed a  declaration  to register an
indefinite number of shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment  Company
Act of 1940, as amended.

     The  Securities and Exchange  Commission  Staff is requested to address any
comments or questions you may have on this filing to:
