HOW YOUR FUND IS MANAGED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of
Pennsylvania municipal bonds. As a Fund shareholder, you receive income that is

taxes.(1)  Your dividends don't increase your taxable income the way taxable
investments do, so you can keep more of what you earn.
     Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund is managed by an experienced team of municipal
bond specialists who research investments thoroughly before they are included in
the Fund's portfolio.

OUTLOOK
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
"We believe the current market is fairly valued. There are still plenty of
positives, along with a good supply and demand relationship. As far as the Fund
is concerned, in the first half of the year, we realized significant
appreciation. For the remainder of the year, we expect a stable market. Relative
to other fixed income securities and against a low inflation backdrop, the
outlook for muni bonds is very good."

Robert Patterson, Portfolio Manager

All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment and principal
value on an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

1. A portion of the distributions paid by the Fund may be subject to federal and
state income taxes. For investors subject to federal and/or state alternative
minimum tax (AMT), the Fund's distributions may increase this tax. Capital gains
distributions, if any, are taxed as capital gains.
2. Based on the change in net asset value per share for the period shown,
without deducting any sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if
sales charges were taken into account.
3. Class A returns show results of hypothetical investments on 6/30/94, 6/30/90
and 9/18/89 (inception of class), after deducting the current maximum initial
sales charge of 4.75%. Class B returns show results of hypothetical investments
on 6/30/94 and 5/1/93 (inception of class), and the deduction of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1 year) and 3% (since inception). An
explanation of the different performance calculations is in the Fund's
prospectus.
4. Standardized yield is net investment income calculated on a yield-to-maturity
basis for the 30-day period ended 6/30/95, divided by the maximum offering price
at the end of the period, compounded semiannually and then annualized. Falling
net asset values will tend to artificially raise yields.

1-year period was for 52 Pennsylvania municipal debt funds. The average is shown
for comparative purposes only. Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund is
characterized by Lipper as a Pennsylvania municipal debt fund. Lipper
performance does not take sales charges into consideration.

In contrast to last year, the first half of 1995 has been exceptionally good for
the bond market. Almost all types of bonds have participated in the upswing and,
in many cases, have more than made up for last year's declines in the first half
alone--rewarding investors who were patient through the market's short-term
difficulties. The strength of the current market adds to evidence showing, once
again, that profitable investing calls for a long-term perspective.
     The single most important factor behind the rally was a change in the
Federal Reserve's monetary policy. From February 1994 to February 1995, the Fed
raised rates aggressively to preempt possible inflation by slowing the economy
to a more moderate growth rate, thus prolonging the current cycle of economic
growth.  As evidence began to mount that indicated the economy was indeed
slowing, the Fed stopped raising rates.
     Like most bonds, municipal bonds benefited from the Fed's moves, but they
also gained for a number of other reasons. First, the income municipal or
tax-free bonds pay is currently very attractive compared to the after-tax income
from other fixed income investments. This has made them appealing to investors
whose primary goal is income. In addition, relatively short supply and increased
demand for municipal bonds--particularly in regions with high tax rates--have
supported higher prices.
     We believe the municipal bond market is strong today; however, the ongoing
congressional budget talks may have an effect as the year continues. State
governments are under financial pressure as the Federal government moves to
reduce the deficit. Thus, states and municipalities may find that although they
will be in a position of having greater say over how money is spent locally,
they will have less money overall--lowering the ratings of some bonds, thus
decreasing the number of quality issues available. Careful credit analysis will
play an even more important role in selecting investments. The good news is that
your managers have always believed in careful analysis and will continue to
steer the Fund toward promising investment opportunities.
     Going forward, your Fund's management team is optimistic, but somewhat more
conser-vative. Municipal bonds have experienced tremendous capital appreciation
during the first half of this year, and your managers want to avoid giving back
gains the Fund has made. Our goal remains to combine the income needs of our
shareholder with a desire to limit risk. Your managers believe the Fund will be
in a strong position to do both for the remainder of the year and in the future.
     Your portfolio manager discusses the outlook for your Fund on the following
pages. Thank you for your confidence in OppenheimerFunds, and we look forward to
helping you continue to reach your investment goals in the future.

Q & A
[PHOTO]
AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGER.


Q  WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?


THE FUND HAS PERFORMED VERY WELL OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS, AS IT BEAT THE LIPPER
PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL DEBT FUND AVERAGE FOR THE 1-YEAR PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30,
1995. WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET SINCE THE LAST REPORT?

Municipal bonds had a strong run since Thanksgiving of last year and
particularly in the first quarter of this year. Toward the end of last year,
interest rates began to decline and the fixed income markets started to rally,
and most bonds participated in the rally. This, in turn, increased demand for
municipal bonds and put pressure on the already short supply. As a result, the
increased demand and short supply pushed prices higher. Thus, municipal bonds
experienced significant capital appreciation over the past six months.
     Because we anticipated the rally, the Fund was well positioned, and we were
able to take advantage of the positive market environment.

WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE AS A RESULT OF THE BOND RALLY?

Most of the changes we made occurred last November, when we began to anticipate
a turnaround.
     We've increased our holdings of prerefunded and insured bonds in the
portfolio--these issues were hit hardest in 1994's tough market, so they've
provided the greatest appreciation since the turnaround.
     We've also been selling positions in par bonds, which we bought at a
discount and which have now reached par value. Our thinking here is that having
reached par, they may underperform in the future.
     In addition, we've recently moved part of the portfolio into Pennsylvania
Housing Finance Agency (HFA) bonds. These are AA-rated bonds that offer a yield
premium over many other top-rated issues.(1)

A  THE LONG-TERM OUTLOOK FOR THE MARKET REMAINS POSITIVE.

WITH A RECORD NUMBER OF BOND CALLS EXPECTED THIS SUMMER, HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING
THE PORTFOLIO TO PROTECT INCOME?

The calls--or built-in opportunities for issuers to buy back bonds prior to
maturity--we expect to see will continue to bolster the favorable supply/demand
characteristics in the muni bond market.
     Other than that, we don't expect to feel much effect from the number of
bond calls. We primarily invest in bonds with "call protection," a feature that
allows us to be the ones who decide how long we'll own a bond. We've always
considered call protection an important feature, so the Fund is fairly well
insulated against call risk.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET?

Favorable economic fundamentals and strong technical factors, namely the
imbalance between supply and demand, continue to create a positive environment
for municipal bonds going forward.
     This year, demand for municipal bonds is expected to outstrip supply, which
we believe should continue. While this "positive" for munis has been briefly
offset by concerns from various tax reform proposals, we believe that these
fears are overblown and the long-term outlook for the market remains positive.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?

We believe the current market is fairly valued. As stated before, there are
still plenty of positives, along with a good supply and demand relationship.
     As far as the Fund is concerned, in the first half of the year, we realized
significant appreciation. For the remainder of the year, we expect a stable
market.
     Relative to other fixed income securities and against a low inflation
backdrop, the outlook for the Fund is very good. Investors were well compensated
for waiting out last year's market, and we believe the current strength should
persist through 1995 and into next year. / /

                                   1. Represents the current interest rate for a
                                   variable rate bond. Variable rate bonds known
                                   as "inverse floaters" pay interest at a rate
                                   that varies inversely with short-term
                                   interest rates. As interest rates rise,
                                   inverse floaters produce less current income.
                                   Their price may be more volatile than the
                                   price of a comparable fixed-rate security.
                                   Inverse floaters amount to $7,057,641 or 9.2%

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT                Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund (the
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES        Fund) is a separate series of Oppenheimer
                              Multi-State Tax-Exempt Trust, a non-diversified,
                              open-end management investment company registered
                              under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
                              amended. The Fund's investment advisor is
                              Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the Manager).
                              The Fund offers both Class A and Class B shares.
                              Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales
                              charge. Class B shares may be subject to a
                              contingent deferred sales charge. Both 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 asked price 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 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.
                              --------------------------------------------------
                              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.
                              --------------------------------------------------
                              TRUSTEES' FEES AND EXPENSES. The Fund has adopted
                              a nonfunded retirement plan for the Fund's
                              independent trustees. Benefits are based on years
                              of service and fees paid to each trustee during
                              the years of service. During the six months ended
                              June 30, 1995, a provision of $13,266 was made for
                              the Fund's projected benefit obligations, and a
                              payment of $507 was made to a retired trustee,
                              resulting in an accumulated liability of $27,432
                              at June 30, 1995.

1. SIGNIFICANT                DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Fund intends to
   ACCOUNTING POLICIES        declare dividends separately for Class A and Class
   (CONTINUED)                B 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 premium
                              amortization. The character of the 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 (loss) was recorded by the Fund.
                              --------------------------------------------------
                              OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for
                              on the date the investments are purchased or sold
                              (trade date). Original issue discount on
                              securities purchased is amortized over the life of
                              the respective securities, in accordance with
                              federal income tax requirements. For bonds
                              acquired after April 30, 1993, accrued market
                              discount is recognized at maturity or disposition
                              as taxable ordinary income. Taxable ordinary
                              income is realized to the extent of the lesser of
                              gain or accrued market discount. Realized gains
                              and losses on investments and unrealized
                              appreciation and depreciation are determined on an
                              identified cost basis, which is the same basis
                              used for federal income tax purposes.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SHARES OF                  The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of no
   BENEFICIAL INTEREST        par value shares of beneficial interest of each
                              class. Transactions in shares of beneficial
                              interest were as follows:

                              with the Fund which provides for a fee of .60% on

                                                  Oppenheimer Shareholder
                              Services (OSS), a division of the Manager, is the
                              transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the
                              Fund, and for other registered investment
                              companies. OSS's total costs of providing such
                              services are allocated ratably to these companies.
                                                  Under separate approved plans,
                              each class may expend up to .15% of its Class A
                              and .25% (voluntarily reduced to .15% by the
                              Fund's Board) of its Class B net assets annually
                              to reimburse OFDI for costs incurred in connection
                              with the personal service and maintenance of

                              institutions. In addition, Class B shares are
                              subject to an asset-based sales charge of .75% of
                              net assets annually, to reimburse OFDI for sales
                              commissions paid from its own resources at the
                              time of sale and associated financing costs. In
                              the event of termination or discontinuance of the
                              Class B plan, the Board of Trustees may allow the
                              Fund to continue payment of the asset-based charge
                              to OFDI for distribution expenses incurred on
                              Class B shares sold prior to termination or
                              discontinuance of the plan. During the six months
                              ended June 30, 1995, OFDI paid $3,857 and $812 to
                              an affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for
                              Class A and Class B personal service and
                              maintenance expenses, respectively, and retained
                              $44,867 as reimbursement for Class B sales
