                      OPPENHEIMER CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FUND
                     Supplement dated August 5, 1998 to the
          Statement of Additional Information dated November 24, 1997


This  Supplement  to  the  Statement  of  Additional  Information  replaces  the
supplement dated May 15, 1998 and changes the Statment of Additional Information
as follows:

      The third sentence of the fourth paragraph in the section entitled "How To
Exchange Shares" on page 46 is revised to read as follows:

      However,  if you redeem  Class A shares of the Fund that were  acquired by
      exchange of Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds purchased subject to
      a Class A contingent  deferred sales charge within 18 months of the end of
      the calendar  month of the purchase of the exchanged  Class A shares,  the
      Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares
      (see "Class A Contingent  Deferred  Sales Charge" in the  Prospectus).  (A
      different  holding period may apply to shares  purchased  prior to June 1,
      1998).

      Appendix B  beginning  on page B-1 is deleted and  replaced  with the text
appearing on the reverse side of this page:


                                                                     (continued)

                                   APPENDIX B
                              Tax-Equivalent Yields

The equivalent  yield tables below compare  tax-free  income with taxable income
under Federal  individual  income tax rates,  and  California  state  individual
income tax rates effective January 1, 1998.  "Combined Taxable Income" refers to
the net amount subject to Federal and California  income taxes after  deductions
and exemptions. The tables assume that an investor's highest tax bracket applies
to the change in taxable  income  resulting  from a switch  between  taxable and
non-taxable  investments,  and that state tax payments are currently  deductible
for  Federal  tax  purposes  and that the  investor is not subject to Federal or
state  alternative  minimum tax. The income tax brackets are subject to indexing
in future years to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index.  The brackets do
not reflect the  phaseout of itemized  deductions  and  personal  exemptions  at
higher  income  levels,  resulting  in  higher  effective  tax  rates  (and  tax
equivalent yields).
