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

"We expect continued, modest economic growth, but are cautious about too much
inflation. And, we remain confident that opportunities exist both domestically
and internationally to provide solid performance in 1997."

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 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)

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.

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.

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.

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          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

                                       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

                             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

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.

                                      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:
