Oppenheimer International Bond Fund

Supplement dated August 7, 2001 to the

Prospectus dated January 17, 2001

The Prospectus is changed as follows:

1. The supplement dated March 1, 2001 is withdrawn.

2. The fifth paragraph of the section entitled "What Classes of Shares Does the Fund Offer?" on page 16 is deleted and replaced with the following:

Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you buy Class N shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within eighteen (18) months of the retirement plan’s first purchase of Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in “How Can You Buy Class N Shares?” below.

3. The first and second sentences of the section captioned “Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” on page 19 are deleted and replaced with the following:

There is no initial sales charge on non-retirement plan purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds aggregating $1 million or more, or for certain purchases by particular types of retirement plans that were permitted to purchase such shares prior to March 1, 2001. (After March 1, 2001, retirement plans are not permitted to make initial purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.) The Distributor pays dealers of record commissions in an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of $1 million or more other than by those grandfathered retirement accounts.

4. The following sentence in the section captioned “Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” on page 19 is deleted:

That commission will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than one year.

5. The following is added after the section captioned "Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges?" on page 19:

Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any one or more Oppenheimer funds by retirement plans that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor, and by retirement plans which are part of a retirement plan product or platform offered by certain banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance companies or recordkeepers which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor. There is no contingent deferred sales charge upon the redemption of such shares. The Distributor currently pays dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase price of Class A shares by those retirement plans from its own resources at the time of sale. That concession will not be paid on purchases of shares by a retirement plan made with the redemption proceeds of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than (18) months.

6. The first paragraph in the section captioned "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" on page 20 is deleted and replaced with the following:

How Can You Buy Class N Shares. Class N shares are offered only through retirement plans (including IRAs and 403(b) plans) that purchase $500,000 or more of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds or through retirement plans (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) that have assets of $500,000 or more or 100 or more eligible participants.
