                OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL EMERGING GROWTH FUND
                 Supplement dated June 13, 1997 to the
                   Prospectus dated January 13, 1997
  
  The Prospectus is changed as follows:
  
  1. The Supplement dated May 1, 1997 to the Prospectus is
  replaced by this Supplement.
  
  2. The first footnote under the "Shareholder Transaction
  Expenses" table on page 3 is revised to read as follows:
  
          (1)  If you invest $1 million or more
            ($500,000 or more for purchases by
            "Retirement Plans", as defined in "Buying
            Class A Shares - Class A Contingent
            Deferred Sales Charge" on page 27) in
            Class A shares, you may have to pay a
            sales charge of up to 1% if you sell your
            shares within 12 calendar months (18
            months for shares purchased prior to May
            1, 1997) from the end of the calendar
            month during which you purchased those
            shares.  See "How to Buy Shares - Buying
            Class A Shares", below.
  
  3.    The Prospectus is amended by adding the following
  paragraph at the end of "How the Fund is Managed" on page 17:
  
  The Board of Trustees of Oppenheimer Global Emerging Growth
  Fund (referred to as "Global Emerging Growth Fund" or the
  "Fund") has determined that it is in the best interest of the
  Fund's shareholders that the Fund reorganize with and into
  Oppenheimer Global Fund ("Global Fund").   The Board
  unanimously approved the terms of an agreement and plan of
  reorganization to be entered into between these funds (the
  "reorganization plan") and the transactions contemplated (the
  transactions are referred to as the "reorganization").  The
  Board further determined that the reorganization should be
  submitted to the Fund's shareholders for approval, and
  recommended that shareholders approve the reorganization.
  
  Pursuant to the reorganization plan, (i) substantially all of
  the assets of the Fund would be exchanged for shares of Global
  Fund, (ii) these shares of Global Fund would be distributed to
  the shareholders of the Fund, (iii) the Fund would be
  liquidated, and (iv) the outstanding shares of the Fund would
  be cancelled.  It is expected that the reorganization will be
  tax-free, pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal
  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Fund will request an
  opinion of tax counsel to that effect.
  
  A meeting of the shareholders of the Fund is scheduled for
  June 17, 1997 to vote on the reorganization.  Approval of the
  reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
  the outstanding shares of the Fund (the term "majority" is
  defined in the Investment  Company Act as a special majority. 
  It is also explained in the Statement of Additional
  Information). 
  
  There is no assurance that the Fund's shareholders will
  approve the reorganization.  Details about the proposed
  reorganization are contained in a proxy statement and other
  soliciting materials which have been mailed to the  Fund's
  shareholders of record  on April 4, 1997.   Persons who became
  shareholders of the Fund after the record date for the
  shareholder meeting are not entitled to vote on the
  reorganization.
  
  4.    In  "Class A Shares" under "Classes of Shares" on page
  22, the second sentence is replaced by  the following:  "If
  you purchase Class A shares as part of an investment of at
  least $1 million ($500,000 for Retirement Plans) in shares of
  one or more Oppenheimer funds, you will not pay an initial
  sales charge, but if you sell any of those shares within 12
  months of buying them (18 months if the shares were purchased
  prior to May 1, 1997), you may pay a contingent deferred sales
  charge."
  
  5.    The following is added to "Which Class of Shares Should
  You Choose? - How Does it Affect Payments To My Broker?"  on
  page 24:   "The Distributor may pay additional periodic
  compensation from its own resources to securities dealers or
  financial institutions based upon the value of shares of the
  Fund owned by the dealer or financial institution for its own
  account or for its customers."
  
  6.    The following is added as the first paragraph under the
  heading "How To Buy Shares - How Much Must You Invest?" on
  page 25:
  
  Shares of the Fund are not available for sale to new
       investors, including shares purchased by exchange from
       other Oppenheimer funds, lump-sum purchases, and
       purchases under an Asset Builder Plan (described on page
       26) or by reinvestment of dividends or distributions from
       other Oppenheimer funds, or under the "Reinvestment
       Privilege" (described on pages 36 and 37).  Existing Fund
       shareholders may purchase additional Fund shares through
       subsequent investments or reinvestment of Fund dividends
       or distributions.  The foregoing is subject to the right
       of the Fund and the Distributor, in their complete
       discretion, to modify or terminate the terms of this
       offer at any time without prior notice.  The remaining
       sections of this Prospectus are hereby amended to conform
       to the terms of this offer.
       
  7.    In the second paragraph of "Buying Class A Shares - Class
  A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" on page 27 the first
  sentence is replaced by the following:
  
        The Distributor pays dealers of record
     commission on those purchases in an amount equal to
     (i) 1.0% for non-Retirement Plan accounts, and (ii)
     for Retirement Plan accounts, 1.0% of the first $2.5 million,
  plus 0.50% of the next $2.5 million, plus 0.25% of purchases over $5 million,
  calculated on a calendar year basis.
  
  8.    In the third paragraph of "Buying Class A Shares - Class
  A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" on page 28, the first
  sentence is replaced by the following:
  
   If you redeem any of those shares purchased prior
     to May 1, 1997, within 18 months of the end of the
     calendar month of their purchase, a contingent
     deferred sales charge (called the "Class A
     contingent deferred sales charge") may be  
     deducted from the redemption proceeds.  A Class A
     contingent deferred sales 
   charge may be deducted from the redemption proceeds of
  any of those shares 
   purchased on or after May 1, 1997 that are redeemed 
     within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of
     their purchase.
  
  9.    The third sentence of the second paragraph of  "Reduced
  Sales Charges for Class A Share Purchases - Right of
  Accumulation" on page 28 is replaced by the following:   "The
  Distributor will add the value, at current offering price, of
  the shares you previously purchased and currently own to the
  value of current purchases to determine the sales charge rate
  that applies."  
  
  10.   The third sub-paragraph in  "Waivers of the Class A
  Contingent Deferred Sales Charge for Certain Redemptions" on
  page 31 is replaced by  the following:
                                                
            if, at the time of purchase of shares
     (prior to May 1, 1997) the dealer agreed in writing
     to accept the dealer's portion of the sales
     commission in installments of 1/18th of the
     commission per month (and no further commission
     will be payable if the shares are redeemed within
     18 months of purchase); 
  
           if, at the time of purchase of shares (on
     or after May 1, 1997) the dealer agrees in writing
     to accept the dealer's portion of the sales
     commission in installments of 1/12th of the
     commission per month (and no further commission
     will be payable if the shares are redeemed within
     12 months of purchase);
  
  11.   The following subparagraphs are added at the end of 
  "Waivers of the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge for
  Certain Redemptions" on page 31:

     Plan; and for distributions from 401(k) plans
     sponsored by broker-dealers that have entered into
     a special agreement with the Distributor allowing
     this waiver.
  
  12.   The following sentence is added to the end of the fifth
  paragraph in "Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and
  Class C Shares" on page 34:

     commission and service fee advance at the time of
     purchase.
  
  13.   The following is added as a new penultimate sentence to
  the sixth paragraph of  "Distribution and Service Plans for
  Class B and Class C shares" on page 34:
   
   If a  dealer has a special agreement with the
     Distributor, the Distributor shall pay  the Class C
     service fee and asset-based sales charge to the
     dealer quarterly in lieu of paying the sales
     commission and  service fee advance at the time of
     purchase.
  
  14.   The introductory phrase in the fourth sub-paragraph of
