OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA TAX-EXEMPT FUND
Supplement dated February 21, 1994 to the Prospectus dated April 30, 1993

The Prospectus is amended as follows:

       1.      The Prospectus supplements dated May 26, 1993, September 24,
1993 and January 25, 1994 are hereby deleted.

       2.      The following statement is added to the front cover page of the
Prospectus:

               Shares of the Fund are not deposits or obligations of
               any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, and are not
               insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve
               investment risks, including the possible loss of
               principal.

       3.      In the section titled "Fund Expenses" on page two, the following
changes are made:

               (a)    The table captioned "Annual Fund Operating
               Expenses (Restated) (as a percentage of average net
               assets)" is replaced with the following:

Annual Fund Operating Expenses                      Class A        Class B
(Restated) (as a percentage of                      Shares         Shares
average net assets)
               
Management Fees                                     0.60%          0.60%
12b-1 (Distribution Plan) Fees                      0.15%          0.90%
Other Expenses                                      0.64%          0.64%
Total Fund Operating Expenses                       1.39%          2.14%

       (b)     The first full paragraph on page three is replaced with the
       following:

               The purpose of this table is to assist an investor in
       understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor
       in the Fund will bear directly (shareholder transaction
       expenses) or indirectly (annual fund operating expenses).  The
       "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" in the table above are restated
       to reflect the termination, effective May 26, 1993, of a
       voluntary expense assumption by the Fund's investment adviser,
       Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Manager").  Such
       restatement sets forth what the Fund's management fee and
       operating expenses would have been in the Fund's fiscal year
       ended December 31, 1992 had no expense assumption been in effect
       that year.  After giving effect to the expense assumptions that
       were undertaken by the Manager during that fiscal year, the
       management fee was .27% of average annual net assets and total
       Fund operating expenses were 1.06% of average annual net assets. 
       See "Investment Management Services" in the Additional Statement
       for further details.  The sales charge rate shown for Class A
       shares is the current maximum rate applicable to purchases of
       Class A shares of the Fund.  Investors in Class A shares may be
       entitled to reduced sales charges based on the amount purchased
       or the value of shares already owned and may be subject to a
       contingent deferred sales charge in limited circumstances (see
       "How to Buy Shares - Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge"). 
       Class B shares were not publicly offered during the fiscal year
       ended December 31, 1992.  The "Annual Fund Operating Expenses"
       as to Class B shares are estimates based on amounts that would
       have been payable in that period, assuming that Class B shares
       were outstanding during such fiscal year.  The actual amount of
       such fees and expenses in the current and future years will
       depend on a number of factors, including the actual average net
       assets of Class B Shares during such years.  "Other Expenses"
       includes such expenses as custodial and transfer agent fees, and
       audit, legal and other business operating expenses, but excludes
       extraordinary expenses.  For further details, see "Dual Class
       Methodology" and the Fund's financial statements, both included
       in the Additional Statement.

       (c)     The paragraph above the hypothetical expense example and
       the hypothetical expense example on page 3 are replaced by the
       following:

               The following example applies the restated total Fund
       operating expenses in the chart above and the current maximum
       sales charges to a hypothetical $1,000 investment in shares of
       the Fund over the time periods shown below assuming a 5% annual
       rate of return on the investment.  The amounts shown below are
       the cumulative costs of such hypothetical $1,000 investment for
       the periods shown, and except as indicated in lines 3 and 4,
       assume that the shares are redeemed at the end of such stated
       period.  

                             1 year     3 years      5 years      10 years(1)
1.  Class A Shares           $61        $89          $120         $206
2.  Class B Shares           $72        $97          $135         $211
3.  Class A Shares, 
       assuming no
       redemption            $61        $89          $120         $206
4.  Class B Shares, 
       assuming no
       redemption            $22        $67          $115         $211
____________________
   (1)Class B shares convert to Class A shares under the terms and
   conditions described under "How to Buy Shares - Class B Conversion
   Feature."  Therefore, years 7 through 10 reflect the Class A expenses
   shown above.  Long-term shareholders of Class B shares could pay the
   economic equivalent, through the asset-based sales charge and
   contingent deferred sales charge imposed on Class B shares, of more
   than the maximum front-end sales charges permitted under applicable
   regulatory requirements.  The Conversion Feature is intended to
   minimize the likelihood that this will occur. 

4.     The following is added after the first paragraph under the Class A
Sales Charge Table in "How to Buy Shares - Class A Shares":

       In addition to paying dealers the regular commission for sales of
       Class A shares stated in the sales charge table in "Class A
       Shares," and the commission for sales of Class B shares described
       in the first paragraph of "Class B Distribution and Service Plan,"
       below, the Distributor will pay the following additional
       commission for shares of the Fund sold in "qualifying
       transactions" from March 1, 1994, through May 31, 1994: (i) 1.00%
       of the offering price of Class A and/or Class B shares sold by a
       representative of a broker or dealer at a branch not in a
       "financial institution," such as a bank, savings and loan
       association or credit union; and (ii) .50% of the offering price
       of Class B shares, and the Distributor's entire retained
       commission on Class A shares, sold by a sales representative of a
       financial institution or by a representative of a broker or dealer
       firm at a branch in a financial institution. "Qualifying
       transactions" are sales by a registered representative of a broker
       or dealer at a branch not in a financial institution of $200,000
       or more (calculated at offering price), and sales in any amount by
       a sales representative of a financial institution or registered
       representative of a broker or dealer at a branch in a financial
       institution, of Class A and/or Class B shares of any one or more
       of the following OppenheimerFunds: Oppenheimer Tax-Free Bond Fund,
       Oppenheimer Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Oppenheimer New York
       Tax-Exempt Fund, Oppenheimer California Tax-Exempt Fund,
       Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund, Oppenheimer Florida Tax-
       Exempt Fund, and Oppenheimer New Jersey Tax-Exempt Fund.
       "Qualifying transactions" do not include sales of Class A shares
       (1) at net asset value without sales charge, (2) subject to a
       contingent deferred sales charge, or (3) intended under a Letter
       of Intent.

   5.      The first sentence of the third paragraph of "How To Buy Shares -
Class B shares - Class B Distribution Plan" is corrected to read as
follows:

           The Distributor currently expects to pay sales commissions
       from its own resources to authorized dealers or brokers at the
       time of sale equal to 3.85% of the purchase price of Fund shares
       sold by such dealer or broker, and to advance the first year
       service fee, which is currently 0.15%.
