We have audited the accompanying statements of condition, including the
related portfolios of the 1999 Series and the 2009 Series of the Oppenheimer
Zero Coupon U.S. Treasuries Trust, Series E, as of December 31, 1993 and the
related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Trust's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned at December 31, 1993 by
correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets of Oppenheimer Zero Coupon U.S.
Treasuries Trust, Series E at December 31, 1993 and the results of its
operations and changes in its net assets, for the above stated periods, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

+    The Indenture was signed and the initial deposit was made as of April 17, 1989.
*    The aggregate offering side evaluation of the obligations is determined by the Evaluator on the basis of current offering 
     prices for the obligations.
**   The transaction charges currently applicable to the 1999 Series and the 2009 Series are 1.00% and 1.75% of their respective
     Offering Prices per 1,000 Units (1.010% and 1.781%, respectively, of the net amount invested in Securities).
***  These figures are computed by dividing the aggregate offering side evaluation of the underlying Securities in the particular
     Series (the price at which they could be purchased directly by the public if they were available) by the number of Units of 
     the Series outstanding, multiplying the result times 1,000 and adding the applicable transaction charge as described in the 
     preceding footnote. These figures assume a purchase of 1,000 Units.  The price of a single Unit, or any multiple thereof, is 
     calculated by dividing the Offering Price per 1,000 Units above by 1,000 and multiplying by the number of Units.
**** Figures shown are $9.13 and $8.61 less than the Offering Price per 1,000 Units and $1.57 and $2.16 less than the Sponsor's
     Repurchase Price per 1,000 Units, with respect to the 1999 Series and the 2009 Series, respectively.
