Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the public offering of shares of beneficial
interest, no par value, of Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust (the "Fund"),
we have examined such records and documents and have made such further
investigation and examination as we deemed necessary for the purpose of
this opinion.
It is our opinion that the shares the registration of which is
made definite by the accompanying Rule 24f-2 Notice of the Fund were
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Fund to the extent
set forth in its Prospectus forming part of its Registration Statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with said Notice.
Very truly yours,
