INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Oppenheimer Total Return Fund, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Oppenheimer
Total Return Fund, Inc. (Fund) for the year ended December 31, 1997 (on which we
have issued our report dated January 23, 1998), we considered its internal
control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to
determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not
to provide assurance on the Fund's internal control.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
control. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the
entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that
are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, errors or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the Fund's internal control would not necessarily disclose
all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or
more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that errors or fraud in amounts that would be material in
relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving the Fund's internal
control, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be
material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
January 23, 1998
The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to
reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 1997, amounts have been
reclassified to reflect a decrease in undistributed net investment
income of $3,973,853. Accumulated net realized gain was increased by
the same amount.
