                    OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND
                    Supplement dated January 10, 1997 to the
                        Prospectus dated January 8, 1997

The Prospectus is changed as follows:

1. In addition to paying dealers the regular commission for (1) sales of Class A
shares  stated in the sales charge table in "Buying  Class A Shares" on page 30,
(2) sales of Class B shares  described in the fifth  paragraph in  "Distribution
and  Service  Plans for Class B and Class C Shares" on page 37, and (3) sales of
Class C shares  described in the sixth  paragraph in  "Distribution  and Service
Plans  for  Class B and Class C Shares"  on page 37,  the  Distributor  will pay
additional  commission to each broker, dealer and financial institution that has
a sales  agreement  with the  Distributor  and agrees to accept that  additional
commission (these are referred to as "participating firms") for Class A, Class B
and  Class  C  shares  of  the  Fund  sold  in  "qualifying  transactions"  (the
"promotion").  The additional  commission will be 1.00% of the offering price of
shares of the Fund sold by a registered  representative or sales  representative
of a participating  firm during the promotion.  If the additional  commission is
paid on the sale of Class A shares  of  $500,000  or more or the sale of Class A
shares to a SEP IRA with 100 or more eligible  participants and those shares are
redeemed  within  13  months  from  the end of the  month  in  which  they  were
purchased,  the  participating  firm will be required  to return the  additional
commission.

         "Qualifying  transactions"  are aggregate  sales of $150,000 or more of
Class A,  Class B and/or  Class C shares  of any one or more of the  Oppenheimer
funds  (except  money market funds and  municipal  bond funds) for  rollovers or
trustee-to-trustee transfers from another retirement plan trustee, of IRA assets
or other employee  benefit plan assets from an account or investment  other than
an account or investment in the  Oppenheimer  funds to (1) IRAs,  rollover IRAs,
SEP IRAs and  SAR-SEP  IRAs,  using the  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.  prototype  IRA
agreement,  if the  rollover  contribution  is  received  during the period from
January  1,  1997  through  April  15,  1997 (the  "promotion  period"),  or the
acceptance of a direct rollover or  trustee-to-trustee  transfer is acknowledged
by the  trustee of the  OppenheimerFunds  prototype  IRA  during  the  promotion
period,  and (2) IRAs,  rollover  IRAs, SEP IRAs and SAR-SEP IRAs using the A.G.
Edwards & Sons, Inc.  prototype IRA agreement,  if the rollover  contribution or
trustee-to-trustee  payment is received during the promotion period. "Qualifying
transactions"  do not include (1)  purchases of Class A shares  intended but not
yet made under a Letter of Intent,  and (2) purchases of Class A, Class B and/or
Class C shares with the redemption  proceeds from an existing  Oppenheimer funds
account.

2. The first  paragraph of the section  captioned  "Class A Contingent  Deferred
Sales  Charge" in  "Buying  Class A Shares" on page 30, is revised by adding the
following subparagraph:

         o Purchases by a retirement  plan qualified under section 401(a) if the
retirement plan has total plan assets of $500,000 or more.



January 10, 1997                                                     PS0855.007
