HOW YOUR FUND IS MANAGED
Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund seeks high current income by
strategically allocating its assets among three sectors: U.S. government
issues, foreign fixed income securities and higher-yielding, lower-rated
corporate bonds. Strategic investing gives the Fund's managers the
flexibility to shift assets among three fixed income sectors to capitalize on
worldwide investment opportunities. At the same time, allocating the Fund's
assets among three distinct fixed income sectors can provide the
diversification necessary to lower risk.
PERFORMANCE
Total returns for the six months ended 3/31/97 were 3.47% for Class A shares,
3.07% for Class B shares and 3.28% for Class C shares, without deducting sales
charges.(1)
Your Fund's average annual total returns for Class A shares for the 1-
and 5-year periods ended 3/31/97 and since inception on 10/16/89 were 5.08%,
8.43% and 9.98%, respectively. For Class B shares, average annual total
returns for the 1-year period ended 3/31/97 and since inception on 11/30/92
were 4.48% and 8.57%, respectively. For Class C shares, average annual total
returns for the 1-year period ended 3/31/97 and since inception on 5/26/95
were 8.47% and 9.98%, respectively.(2)
OUTLOOK

charges. Such performance is not annualized and would have been lower if sales
charges were taken into account.
2. Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%.
Class B returns include the applicable contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1
year) and 2% (since inception). Class C returns include the 1% contingent
deferred sales charge for the 1-year result. An explanation of the different
total returns is in the Fund's prospectus. Class B and Class C shares are
subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.

Dear Shareholder,
As we enter the second quarter, we are optimistic regarding the prospects for
fixed income investors who maintain a long-term perspective. While U.S.
economic policy makers face a considerable challenge in 1997, maintaining the
delicate balance between moderate growth and low inflation, we believe
current political and economic stability creates a favorable environment for
long-term investments. In fact, the current economic trend appears to follow
the pattern that emerged in early 1996.
The similarities between the first few months of 1996 and those of 1997
are striking. In both cases, economic growth was slightly more robust than
expected, and many experts were concerned that an overheating economy would
generate inflation. On March 18th, as a preemptive move against inflation,
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan raised short-term interest
rates by a modest amount. This was the first change in monetary policy since
January 1996, and the first increase in short-term interest rates in over two
years. Today, it appears this initial interest-rate increase may not be the
last, and investors remain concerned about high stock market valuations and
the potential re-emergence of inflation.
At OppenheimerFunds, we are optimistic regarding the long-term
expectations for fixed income markets. We maintain that economic growth will
not accelerate substantially but should continue at a modest rate. In
addition, as investors in general become more realistic about stock market
returns, we foresee fixed income investments becoming attractive relative to
potentially more volatile investments in equities.
In the near term, select yield-oriented securities, such as
mortgage-backed and foreign securities--particularly those in emerging
markets--are well-positioned for producing higher returns and current income.
That's because mortgage-backed securities perform well in a rising
interest-rate environment, and emerging market securities tend to be less
sensitive to U.S. interest-rate and currency movements. Our long-term outlook
is that we may see an increase in the demand for U.S. fixed income products
which could drive yields lower and make it difficult to maintain today's
income stream. However, this increased demand could provide the fixed income
investor with enhanced long-term investment opportunities.
Your portfolio managers discuss the outlook for your Fund in light of
these broad issues on the following pages. Thank you for your confidence in
OppenheimerFunds, THE RIGHT WAY TO INVEST. We look forward to helping you
reach your investment goals in the future.

Q + A [PHOTO] [PHOTO]
Q What investments made
POSITIVE contributions to performance?
AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS.
HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
Continued U.S. economic growth and low inflation meant modest to strong returns
across Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund's three investment sectors--high yield,
U.S. government and foreign bonds. Because the yield on U.S. government bonds
fell during the period, we reduced the duration of our U.S. Treasury holdings to
protect the Fund from excess interest-rate exposure. We've also increased the
Fund's holdings of foreign government bonds. The diversification worked well,
and the Fund's Class A shares returned performance of 3.47%, without deducting
sales charges, for the six-month period ending March 31, 1997.(1)
[PHOTO]
WHAT INVESTMENTS MADE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERFORMANCE?
During the period, we were heavily exposed to high-yield corporate bonds in
the telecommunications sector. The break-up of monopolies, both in the United
States and abroad, has been beneficial for new companies in the sector.
Our investments in dollar-denominated emerging market bonds,
particularly in Latin America, returned exceptional performance. Although
yields remain attractive, we are beginning to see high valuations and are
looking to diversify into other foreign debt instruments, such as those found
in the developing economies of Eastern Europe. Of course, any foreign
investment entails greater expenses and risks, such as adverse market changes
due to currency fluctuations. But, by diversifying the portfolio by country
and industry, we aim to reduce those risks.
As the real estate market improved and strong economic growth helped to
lower office vacancy rates, we increased our exposure to a new source of
mortgage-backed bonds called commercial

mortgage-backed securities. These bonds are attractive because they provide
higher yield for the same credit risk as a comparable industrial corporate
bond. In addition, the Fund's exposure to the government sector was
concentrated in mortgage-backed bonds, which maintained a positive spread to
Treasuries and provided respectable return.(2)
WHAT INVESTMENTS DID NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED?
Oversupply and regulatory changes hurt the performance of our gaming sector
holdings. Returns for these holdings were respectable but disappointing when
compared with some of the Fund's best performers. Also, weaker growth in Asia
and Europe dampened demand for our holdings in the metal/mining and paper
product industries. Although our investments in these three industries
underperformed our expectations, the Fund's low exposure minimized the
impact on performance.
[PHOTO]
WHAT AREAS ARE YOU CURRENTLY TARGETING?
Because of the recent interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve, we will
continue to keep an eye on the Fund's U.S. Treasury durations. As long as
there continues to be a possibility of another Fed increase we will keep our
interest-rate exposure to a minimum.
We will also continue to diversify outside of the traditional
dollar-denominated emerging market bonds that are sensitive to interest-rate
increases. We are looking into money market instruments denominated in the
local currencies of Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.
[PHOTO]
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We expect continued, modest economic growth, but are cautious about too much
inflation. Employment rates are reaching levels that historically have begun
applying upward pressure on wages. Rising wage pressure is a key component of
inflation, and rising inflation could tempt the Federal Reserve to raise
interest rates and slow economic growth. Since we believe that the first rate
hike by the Fed will not be the last, we are taking steps to diversify the
portfolio away from interest-rate sensitive investments. We remain confident
that opportunities exist both domestically and internationally to provide solid
performance in 1997.

2. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically
decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income
securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal
amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current
interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more
sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed
securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed
represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated
timing and amount of future cash flows.
3. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these
securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates
rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of
coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent
current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of
future cash flows.
4. When-issued security to be delivered and settled after March 31, 1997.
5. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted--See Note 8 of
Notes to Financial Statements.
6. Represents the current interest rate for a variable rate security.
7. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities
have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board
of Trustees. These securities amount to $329,610,786 or 4.74% of the Fund's
net assets, at March 31, 1997.
8. Securities with an aggregate market value of $13,472,940 are held in
collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
sales contracts. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.

<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund (the Fund) is a
ACCOUNTING POLICIES separate series of Oppenheimer Strategic Income
Fund, a diversified, open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's
investment objective is to seek a high level of
current income by investing mainly in debt
securities in U.S. government, foreign and
lower-rated corporate bonds and by writing covered
call options on them. The Fund's investment
adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
The Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C
shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end
sales charge. Class B and Class C shares may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. All
classes of shares have identical rights to
earnings, assets and voting privileges, except
that each class has its own distribution and/or
service plan, expenses directly attributable to a
particular class and exclusive voting rights with
respect to matters affecting a single class. Class
B shares will automatically convert to Class A
shares six years after the date of purchase. The
following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Fund.
---------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT VALUATION. Portfolio securities are
valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange
on each trading day. Listed and unlisted
securities for which such information is regularly
reported are valued at the last sale price of the
day or, in the absence of sales, at values based
on the closing bid or the last sale price on the
prior trading day. Long-term and short-term
"non-money market" debt securities are valued by
a portfolio pricing service approved by the Board
of Trustees. Such securities which cannot be
valued by the approved portfolio pricing service
are valued using dealer-supplied valuations
provided the Manager is satisfied that the firm
rendering the quotes is reliable and that the
quotes reflect current market value, or are valued
under consistently applied procedures established
by the Board of Trustees to determine fair value
in good faith. Short-term "money market type"
debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60
days or less are valued at cost (or last
determined market value) adjusted for amortization
to maturity of any premium or discount. Forward
foreign currency exchange contracts are valued
based on the closing prices of the forward
currency contract rates in the London foreign
exchange markets on a daily basis as provided by a
reliable bank or dealer. Options are valued based
upon the last sale price on the principal exchange
on which the option is traded or, in the absence
of any transactions that day, the value is based
upon the last sale price on the prior trading date
if it is within the spread between the closing bid
and asked prices. If the last sale price is
outside the spread, the closing bid is used.
---------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS.
Delivery and payment for securities that have been
purchased by the Fund on a forward commitment or
when-issued basis can take place a month or more
after the transaction date. During this period,
such securities do not earn interest, are subject
to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease
in value prior to their delivery. The Fund
maintains, in a segregated account with its
custodian, assets with a market value equal to the
amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase
of securities on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis may increase the volatility of
the Fund's net asset value to the extent the Fund
makes such purchases while remaining substantially
fully invested. As of March 31, 1997, the Fund had
entered into outstanding when-issued or forward
commitments of $1,060,863,256.
In connection with its ability to purchase
securities on a when-issued or forward commitment
basis, the Fund may enter into mortgage
"dollar-rolls" in which the Fund sells securities
for delivery in the current month and
simultaneously contracts with the same
counterparty to repurchase similar (same type
coupon and maturity) but not identical securities
on a specified future date. The Fund records each
dollar-roll as a sale and a new purchase
transaction.
---------------------------------------------------
SECURITY CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in high
yield securities, which may be subject to a
greater degree of credit risk, greater market
fluctuations and risk of loss of income and
principal, and may be more sensitive to economic
conditions than lower-yielding, higher-rated fixed
income securities. The Fund may acquire securities
in default, and is not obligated to dispose of
securities whose issuers subsequently default. At
March 31, 1997, securities with an aggregate
market value of $2,008,500, representing 0.03% of
the Fund's net assets, were in default.
---------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting
records of the Fund are maintained in U.S.
dollars. Prices of securities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts
related to the purchase and sale of securities and
investment income are translated at the rates of
exchange prevailing on the respective dates of
such transactions.
The effect of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates on investments is separately
identified from the fluctuations arising from
changes in market values of securities held and
reported with all other foreign currency gains and
losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations.
34 Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund requires the
ACCOUNTING POLICIES custodian to take possession, to have legally
(CONTINUED) segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry
System or to have segregated within the
custodian's vault, all securities held as
collateral for repurchase agreements. The market
value of the underlying securities is required to
be at least 102% of the resale price at the time
of purchase. If the seller of the agreement
defaults and the value of the collateral declines,
or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding,
realization of the value of the collateral by the
Fund may be delayed or limited.
---------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, AND GAINS AND
LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than those
attributable to a specific class) and gains and
losses are allocated daily to each class of shares
based upon the relative proportion of net assets
represented by such class. Operating expenses
directly attributable to a specific class are
charged against the operations of that class.
---------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund intends to continue to
comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute all of its taxable income,
including any net realized gain on investments not
offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income or excise tax
provision is required.
---------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Fund intends to
declare dividends separately for Class A, Class B
and Class C shares from net investment income each
day the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business and pay such dividends monthly.
Distributions from net realized gains on
investments, if any, will be declared at least
once each year.
---------------------------------------------------
CLASSIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain
(loss) may differ for financial statement and tax
purposes primarily because of the recognition of
certain foreign currency gains (losses) as
ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes. The
character of distributions made during the year
from net investment income or net realized gains
may differ from their ultimate characterization
for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to
timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year
in which amounts are distributed may differ from
the year that the income or realized gain was
recorded by the Fund.
---------------------------------------------------
OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for
on the date the investments are purchased or sold
(trade date) and dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Discount on securities
purchased is amortized over the life of the
respective securities, in accordance with federal
income tax requirements. Realized gains and losses
on investments and options written and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation are determined on an
identified cost basis, which is the same basis
used for federal income tax purposes.
Dividends-in-kind are recognized as income on the
ex-dividend date, at the current market value of
the underlying security. Interest on
payment-in-kind debt instruments is accrued as
income at the coupon rate and a market adjustment
is made periodically.
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

4. MANAGEMENT FEES AND Management fees paid to the Manager were in
OTHER TRANSACTIONS accordance with the investment advisory agreement
WITH AFFILIATES with the Fund which provides for a fee of 0.75% of
the first $200 million of the Fund's average
annual net assets, 0.72% of the next $200 million,
0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next
$200 million, 0.60% of the next $200 million and
0.50% of the net assets in excess of $1 billion.
For the six months ended March 31, 1997,
commissions (sales charges paid by investors) on
sales of Class A shares totaled $9,890,226, of
which $3,011,916 was retained by OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc. (OFDI), a subsidiary of the
Manager, as general distributor, and by an
affiliated broker/dealer. Sales charges advanced
to broker/dealers by OFDI on sales of the Fund's
Class B and Class C shares totaled $20,224,388 and
$1,327,430, of which $602,337 and $37,093,
respectively, was paid to an affiliated
broker/dealer. During the six months ended March
31, 1997, OFDI received contingent deferred sales
charges of $3,130,009 and $73,359, respectively,
upon redemption of Class B and Class C shares as
reimbursement for sales commissions advanced by
OFDI at the time of sale of such shares.
OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a
division of the Manager, is the transfer and
shareholder servicing agent for the Fund, and for
other registered investment companies. OFS's total
costs of providing such services are allocated
ratably to these companies.
36 Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MANAGEMENT FEES The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS shares to reimburse OFDI for a portion of its
WITH AFFILIATES costs incurred in connection with the personal
(CONTINUED) service and maintenance of accounts that hold
Class A shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at
an annual rate that may not exceed 0.25% of the
average annual net assets of Class A shares of the
Fund. OFDI uses the service fee to reimburse
brokers, dealers, banks and other financial
institutions quarterly for providing personal
service and maintenance of accounts of their
customers that hold Class A shares. During the six
months ended March 31, 1997, OFDI paid $311,793 to
an affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for
Class A personal service and maintenance expenses.
The Fund has adopted a reimbursement type
Distribution and Service Plan for Class B shares
to reimburse OFDI for its services and costs in
distributing Class B shares and servicing
accounts. Under the Plan, the Fund pays OFDI an
annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year
on Class B shares. OFDI also receives a service
fee of 0.25% per year to reimburse dealers for
providing personal services for accounts that hold
Class B shares. Both fees are computed on the
average annual net assets of Class B shares,
determined as of the close of each regular
business day. During the six months ended March
31, 1997, OFDI paid $78,628 to an affiliated
broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class B
personal service and maintenance expenses and
retained $11,521,964 as reimbursement for Class B
sales commissions and service fee advances, as
well as financing costs. If the Plan is terminated
by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the
Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales
charge to OFDI for certain expenses it incurred
before the Plan was terminated. As of March 31,
1997, OFDI had incurred unreimbursed expenses of
$99,866,541 for Class B.
The Fund has adopted a compensation type
Distribution and Service Plan for Class C shares
to compensate OFDI for its services and costs in
distributing Class C shares and servicing
accounts. Under the Plan, the Fund pays OFDI an
annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% per year
on Class C shares. OFDI also receives a service
fee of 0.25% per year to compensate dealers for
providing personal services for accounts that hold
Class C shares. Both fees are computed on the
average annual net assets of Class C shares,
determined as of the close of each regular
business day. During the six months ended March
31, 1997, OFDI paid $13,307 to an affiliated
broker/dealer as compensation for Class C personal
service and maintenance expenses and retained
$782,414 as compensation for Class C sales
commissions and service fee advances, as well as
financing costs. If the Plan is terminated by the
Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to
continue payments of the asset-based sales charge
to OFDI for certain expenses it incurred before
the Plan was terminated. As of March 31, 1997,
OFDI had incurred unreimbursed expenses of
$4,126,971 for Class C.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FORWARD CONTRACTS A forward foreign currency exchange contract
(forward contract) is a commitment to purchase or
sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a
negotiated rate.
The Fund uses forward contracts to seek
to manage foreign currency risks. They may also be
used to tactically shift portfolio currency risk.
The Fund generally enters into forward contracts
as a hedge upon the purchase or sale of a security
denominated in a foreign currency. In addition,
the Fund may enter into such contracts as a hedge
against changes in foreign currency exchange rates
on portfolio positions.
Forward contracts are valued based on the
closing prices of the forward currency contract
rates in the London foreign exchange markets on a
daily basis as provided by a reliable bank or
dealer. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon
the closing or settlement of the forward
transaction.
Securities held in segregated accounts to
cover net exposure on outstanding forward contracts
are noted in the Statement of Investments where
applicable. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation
on forward contracts is reported in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and
losses are reported with all other foreign currency
gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of
Operations.

6. FUTURES CONTRACTS The Fund may buy and sell interest rate futures
contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect
against changes in interest rates. The Fund may
also buy or write put or call options on these
futures contracts.
The Fund generally sells futures contracts
to hedge against increases in interest rates and
the resulting negative effect on the value of fixed
rate portfolio securities. The Fund may also
purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to
changes in interest rates as it may be more
efficient or cost effective than actually buying
fixed income securities.
Upon entering into a futures contract,
the Fund is required to deposit either cash or
securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to
a certain percentage of the contract value.
Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or
received by the Fund each day. The variation
margin payments are equal to the daily changes in
the contract value and are recorded as unrealized
gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized
gain or loss when the contract is closed or
expires.
Securities held in collateralized
accounts to cover initial margin requirements on
open futures contracts are noted in the Statement
of Investments. The Statement of Assets and
Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for
the daily mark to market for variation margin.
Risks of entering into futures contracts
(and related options) include the possibility that
there may be an illiquid market and that a change
in the value of the contract or option may not
correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.
At March 31, 1997, the Fund had outstanding futures
contracts to sell debt securities as follows:

7. OPTION ACTIVITY The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or
write put and covered call options on portfolio
securities in order to produce incremental
earnings or protect against changes in the value
of portfolio securities.
The Fund generally purchases put options
or writes covered call options to hedge against
adverse movements in the value of portfolio
holdings. When an option is written, the Fund
receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell
or purchase the underlying security at a fixed
price, upon exercise of the option.
Options are valued daily based upon the
last sale price on the principal exchange on which
the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or
depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a
gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the
option transaction. When an option is exercised,
the proceeds on sales for a written call option,
the purchase cost for a written put option, or the
cost of the security for a purchased put or call
option is adjusted by the amount of premium
received or paid.
Securities designated to cover
outstanding call options are noted in the Statement
of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to
call, expiration date, exercise price, premium
received and market value are detailed in a
footnote to the Statement of Investments. Options
written are reported as a liability in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gains and
losses are reported in the Statement of
Operations.
The risk in writing a call option is that
the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the
market price of the security increases and the
option is exercised. The risk in writing a put
option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the
market price of the security decreases and the
option is exercised. The risk in buying an option
is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the
option is exercised. The Fund also has the
additional risk of not being able to enter into a
closing transaction if a liquid secondary market
does not exist.
Written option activity for the six months ended
March 31, 1997 was as follows:

8. ILLIQUID AND At September 30, 1996, investments in securities
RESTRICTED SECURITIES included issues that are illiquid or restricted.
Restricted securities are often purchased in
private placement transactions, are not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, may have
contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued
under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as
reflecting fair value. A security may be considered
illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or
if its valuation has not changed for a certain
period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more
than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time
of purchase and reviewed from time to time) in
illiquid or restricted securities. Certain
restricted securities, eligible for resale to
qualified institutional investors, are not subject
to that limit. The aggregate value of illiquid or
restricted securities subject to this limitation at
March 31, 1997 was $620,089,285, which represents
8.92% of the Fund's net assets. Information
concerning restricted securities is as follows:
