                 OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND
                    Supplement  dated  January  1,  1998  to  the  Statement  of
    Additional Information dated March 24, 1997

      The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:

      1. The following section should appear  immediately after the section "How
the Fund is Managed--Organization and History," on page 17:

      |X| Portfolio  Manager.  The portfolio  manager of the Fund is Mr.
George Evans, a
Vice   President   of  the  Manager.   He  is  the  person   principally
responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Fund's  portfolio.  Mr. Evans' background is described
in the Prospectus
under  "Portfolio  Manager."  Other  members  of  the  Manager's  Equity
Portfolio Department,
particularly  Messrs.  William  Wilby and Frank  Jennings,  provide  the
Portfolio Manager with
counsel and support in managing the Fund's portfolio.

      2. The following section should appear immediately after the "Remuneration
of
Trustees" table, which begins on page 21:

Deferred  Compensation  Plan.  The Board of  Trustees  has  adopted  a  Deferred
Compensation Plan for disinterested 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 Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially affect the
Fund's assets,  liabilities or 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 Securities and
Exchange  Commission,  the Fund  may,  notwithstanding  its  fundamental  policy
restricting  investment in other open-end investment companies,  as described on
page 16 of the Statement of Additional Information, 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.

January 1, 1998                                               PX0825.002
