The Supplement dated February 5, 2003 is hereby withdrawn.

1     The following is added at the end of the section captioned, "About the
      Fund's Investments - Other Investment Strategies" on page 12:

      Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund has entered into a Securities
            Lending Agreement with JP Morgan Chase. Under that agreement
            portfolio securities of the Fund may be loaned to brokers,
            dealers and other financial institutions.  The Securities Lending
            Agreement provides that loans must be adequately collateralized
            and may be made only in conformity with the Fund's Securities
            Lending Guidelines, adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. The
            value of the securities loaned may not exceed 25% of the value of
            the Fund's net assets.

2     The paragraph captioned "Portfolio  Managers." on page 13 is deleted and
      replaced as follows:

      Portfolio Manager.  The portfolio manager of the Fund, Ruggero
            de'Rossi, is a Vice President of the Fund and the person
            principally responsible for the day-to-day management of
            the Fund's investments. Mr. de'Rossi joined the Manager as
            a Vice President and portfolio manager of the Fund on March
            6, 2000.  Since 1990 he had been associated with other
            international money management firms, most recently as a
            Senior Vice President and Chief Emerging Markets Strategist
            for ING Barings from July, 1998 through March, 2000, and
            Vice President and head of emerging markets trading
            strategies for Citicorp Securities from May, 1995 through
            July 1998. Mr. de'Rossi is also an officer and portfolio
            manager of other Oppenheimer funds.

                  Oppenheimer International Bond Fund
                 Supplement dated June 27, 2003 to the
  Statement of Additional Information dated November 22, 2002, revised
                           February 24, 2003


The Statement of Additional Information is changed as follows:


1.  The  following  is  added  at  the  end of  the  section  captioned,
"About the Fund -  Additional  Information  About the Fund's  Investment
Policies and Risks - Other  Investment  Techniques  and  Strategies"  on
page 35:

|X|   Loans of Portfolio Securities.  The Fund may lend its portfolio
      securities pursuant to the Securities Lending Agreement (the
      "Securities Lending Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase, subject to
      the restrictions stated in the Prospectus.  The Fund will lend
      such portfolio securities to attempt to increase the Fund's
      income.  Under the Securities Lending Agreement and applicable
      regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the loan
      collateral must, on each business day, be at least equal to the
      value of the loaned securities and must consist of cash, bank
      letters of credit or securities of the U.S. Government (or its
      agencies or instrumentalities), or other cash equivalents in
      which the Fund is permitted to invest.  To be acceptable as
      collateral, letters of credit must obligate a bank to pay to JP
      Morgan Chase, as agent, amounts demanded by the Fund if the
      demand meets the terms of the letter.  Such terms of the letter
      of credit and the issuing bank must be satisfactory to JP Morgan
      Chase and the Fund.  The Fund will receive, pursuant to the
      Securities Lending Agreement, 80% of all annual net income (i.e.,
      net of rebates to the Borrower) from securities lending
      transactions.  JP Morgan Chase has agreed, in general, to
      guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned
      securities and to be responsible for expenses relating to
      securities lending.  The Fund will be responsible, however, for
      risks associated with the investment of cash collateral,
      including the risk that the issuer of the security in which the
      cash collateral has been invested defaults.  The Securities
      Lending Agreement may be terminated by either JP Morgan Chase or
      the Fund on 30 days' written notice.  The terms of the Fund's
      loans must also meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue
      Code and permit the Fund to reacquire loaned securities on five
      business days' notice or in time to vote on any important matter.
