                       OPPENHEIMER INSURED MUNICIPAL FUND
                      Supplement dated April 8, 1999 to the
          Statement of Additional Information dated January 29, 1999

The Statement of Additional Information is changed as follows:

The first paragraph in the section entitled "Private Activity  Municipal Series"
on page four is deleted and replaced by the following:

   The Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Tax  Reform  Act")  reorganized,  as well as
   amended,  the rules  governing tax exemption for interest on certain types of
   municipal  securities.  The Tax Reform Act  generally  did not change the tax
   treatment of bonds issued in order to finance governmental operations.  Thus,
   interest on general obligation bonds issued by or on behalf of state or local
   governments, the proceeds of which are used to finance the operations of such
   governments,  continues to be tax-exempt. However, the Tax Reform Act limited
   the use of tax-exempt bonds for  non-governmental  (private)  purposes.  More
   stringent  restrictions  were  placed on the use of  proceeds  of such bonds.
   Interest  on certain  private  activity  bonds is taxable  under the  revised
   rules.  There is an exception for  "qualified"  tax-exempt  private  activity
   bonds,  for example,  exempt  facility  bonds  including  certain  industrial
   development  bonds,  qualified  mortgage bonds,  qualified  Section 501(c)(3)
   bonds, and qualified student loan bonds.

April 8, 1999                                                         PX0865.007
