                     OPPENHEIMER TAX-FREE BOND FUND

                 Supplement dated January 3, 1995 to the
                      Prospectus dated May 1, 1994

The Prospectus is amended as follows:

1.The supplement dated July 1, 1994 to the Prospectus is hereby
superseded.

2.As of July 1, 1994, the Fund's shareholders have approved a Service Plan
for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
that applies to all Class A shares of the Fund, regardless of the date on
which the shares were purchased.

3.The column captioned "Class A Shares" within the table on page three
under the caption "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" is deleted and replaced
with the following that shows the Fund's Annual Operating Expenses as if
the Service Plan for Class A shares had been in effect for the Fund's
fiscal year ended December 31, 1993.

                                    Class A
                                    Shares

   Management Fees                  0.54%
   12b-1 Distribution and/or Service 
     Plan Fees (restated)           0.23%*
   Other Expenses                   0.14%
   Total Fund Operating 
     Expenses (restated)            0.91%

   *Service Plan fees only.

4.The section captioned "Examples" on pages three and four is deleted and
replaced with the following:

        Examples. To try to show the effect of these expenses on an
   investment over time, we have created the hypothetical examples
   shown below.  Assume that you make a $1,000 investment in each class
   of shares of the Fund, and that the Fund's annual return is 5%, and
   that its operating expenses for each class are the ones shown in the
   chart above.  If you were to redeem your shares at the end of each
   period shown below, your investment would incur the following
   expenses by the end of each period shown:

                            1 year  3 years  5 years 10 years(1)

Class A Shares               $56      $75      $96      $154
Class B Shares               $68      $85     $114      $163

   If you did not redeem your investment, it would incur the following
expenses:


   Class A Shares            $56      $75      $96      $154
   Class B Shares            $18      $55      $94      $163

   (1) The Class B expenses in years 7 through 10 are based on the Class
   A expenses shown above, because the Fund automatically converts your
   Class B shares into Class A shares after 6 years. Long-term Class B
   shareholders could pay the economic equivalent of more than the maximum
   front-end sales charge allowed under applicable regulations, because of
   the effect of the asset-based sales charge and contingent deferred
   sales charge. The automatic conversion is designed to minimize the
   likelihood that this will occur. Please refer to "How to Buy Shares -
   Class B Shares" for more information.

       These examples show the effect of expenses on an investment, but
   are not meant to state or predict actual or expected costs or
   investment returns of the Fund, all of which will vary.


5.              (a)  The section captioned "At What Price Are Shares
                Sold?" under "How to Buy Shares" on page 14 is amended to
                change the time of day at which the net asset value is
                determined, by revising the second sentence to read as
                follows: "In most cases, to enable you to receive that
                day's offering price, the Distributor must receive your
                order by the time of day The New York Stock Exchange
                closes, which is normally 4:00 P.M., New York time, but
                may be earlier on some days (all references to time in
                this Prospectus mean "New York time")."  

   (b)  The fourth sentence of the section captioned "At What Price Are
   Shares Sold?" under "How to Buy Shares" on page 14 is revised to read
   as follows: "If you buy shares through a dealer, the dealer must
   receive your order by the close of The New York Stock Exchange on a
   regular business day and transmit it to the Distributor so that it is
   received before the Distributor's close of business that day, which is
   normally 5:00 P.M."

6.              The second sentence of the section captioned "Selling
                Shares by Telephone" under "How to Sell Shares" on page 19
                is revised to read as follows: "To receive the redemption
                price on a regular business day, your call must be
                received by the Transfer Agent by the close of The New
                York Stock Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M.,
                but may be earlier on some days."

7.              The section captioned "How To Exchange Shares" on page 20
                is amended by revising the first sentence in the first
                "bulleted" paragraph following "Telephone Exchange
                Requests" to read as two sentences as follows: "Shares are
                normally redeemed from one fund and purchased from the
                other fund in the exchange transaction on the same regular
                business day on which the Transfer Agent receives an
                exchange request that is in proper form by the close of
                The New York Stock Exchange that day, which is normally
                4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some days.  However,
                either fund may delay the purchase of shares of the fund
                you are exchanging into if it determines it would be
                disadvantaged by a same-day transfer of the proceeds to
                buy shares."

8.              The first sentence of the section captioned "Net Asset
                Value Per Share" under "Shareholder Account Rules and
                Policies" on page 21 is revised to read as follows: "Net
                Asset Value Per Share is determined for each class of
                shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange on
                each regular business day by dividing the value of the
                Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of
                shares of that class that are outstanding."

                     OPPENHEIMER TAX-FREE BOND FUND
                    Supplement dated January 3, 1995
      to the Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 1994

The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:

1.   The first sentence of the section entitled "Determination of Net
     Asset Value Per Share" under "How to Buy Shares" on page 26 is
     amended to read as follows, and a new second sentence is added
     to that section as follows: "The net asset values per share of
     Class A and Class B shares of the Fund are determined as of the
     close of business of The New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE")
     on each day that the NYSE is open by dividing the Fund's net
     assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that
     class that are outstanding.  The NYSE normally closes at 4:00
     P.M., New York time, but may close earlier on some days (for
     example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling
     before a holiday)."  

2.   The section entitled "AccountLink" under "How to Buy Shares" on
     page 27 is revised by replacing the text after the second
     sentence with the following:  "Dividends will begin to accrue
     on shares purchased by the proceeds of ACH transfers on the
     business day the Fund receives Federal Funds for the purchase
     through the ACH system before the close of the NYSE.  The NYSE
     normally closes at 4:00 P.M., but may close earlier on certain
     days.  If Federal Funds are received on a business day after the
     close of the NYSE, the shares will be purchased and dividends
     will begin to accrue on the next regular business day.  The
     proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund
     three days after the transfers are initiated.  The Distributor
     and the Fund are not responsible for any delays in purchasing
     shares resulting from delays in ACH transmissions." 

3.   The second sentence of the section entitled "Special
     Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers"
     under "How to Sell Shares" on page 32 is amended to read as
     follows: "The repurchase price per share will be the net asset
     value next computed after the Distributor receives the order
     placed by the dealer or broker, except that if the Distributor
     receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the
     close of the NYSE on a regular business day, it will be
     processed at that day's net asset value if the order was
     received by the dealer or broker from its customer prior to the
     time the NYSE closes (normally, that is 4:00 P.M., but may be
     earlier on some days) and the order was transmitted to and
     received by the Distributor prior to its close of business that
     day (normally 5:00 P.M.)."
