President,
Oppenheimer
Pennsylvania
Municipal Fund
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
Contrary to what many analysts had expected, the U.S. economy appears to have
picked up steam over the past few months. The fourth quarter of 1998 posted the
fastest rate of economic growth in two years, and early indications suggest that
the first quarter of 1999 may follow suit.
With respect to the U.S. bond market, stronger-than-expected economic
growth has triggered concerns that the Federal Reserve may raise key interest
rates to forestall an acceleration of inflation. As a result, yields of
longer-term taxable bonds have risen from their October 1998 lows, when
investors had bid up prices during the global "flight to quality." At the same
time, tax-exempt bond prices and yields have remained relatively stable.
In the U.S. stock market, it might appear at first glance that prices are
rising as rapidly as the economy is growing. However, a closer look reveals
that, with the exception of large-cap growth companies and the technology
industry, most stock prices remained relatively flat. What's more, the disparity
in valuations between large companies, which have led the market's advance, and
smaller ones, which have lagged, has become historically wide.
What do these observations mean for your investments? In our view,
actively managed portfolios that are closely monitored by expert money managers
are likely to provide better returns than passive index investing in 1999.
That's because selectivity is expected to be more critical to performance than
it has been over the past few years. In a potentially overvalued stock market
and rising interest-rate environment, the ability to identify the most promising
securities could become paramount.

Even though many equity investors may be tempted to jump aboard the
technology bandwagon, we suggest a more prudent course: broad diversification
beyond any single asset class, industry, capitalization range or geographic
region. We believe that the risks of this investment environment require
consideration of a broad range of investments and markets, including bonds. That
way, if one market experiences setbacks, one or more of the others may help
cushion the effects on your overall portfolio.
No matter what the financial markets have in store, we resolve to
continue working with your financial advisor to keep you apprised of potential
risks and opportunities. Providing you with the market information,
professionally managed investments and other resources you need to achieve your
financial goals is an important part of our enduring commitment to you as The
Right Way to Invest.
Sincerely,

As of January 31, 1999, the Funds' Class A distribution yield of 4.68% is 0.28
basis points more than the median yield of all 62 Pennsylvania municipal bond
funds.*
AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW HAS OPPENHEIMER PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL FUND PERFORMED DURING THE PAST SIX
MONTH PERIOD THAT ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999?
The Fund's Class A shares provided an annualized tax-free dividend yield of
4.68% (computed without sales charges) as of January 31, 1999. This is the
equivalent of 6.97% in taxable yield for a Pennsylvania taxpayer in the 32.9%
combined Pennsylvania State and federal tax bracket. For taxpayers subject to
higher federal tax rates, or additional local income taxes, the equivalent yield
would make your Fund investment even more attractive.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET?
The Pennsylvania economy, and the municipal bond market in general, appears to
be strengthening. Most importantly, the State's credit rating has been upgraded
from AA- to AA due to almost five years of budget surpluses and a 4% surplus in
general fund revenues. In addition, the yield on long insured issues is
currently over 95% of the yield on comparable Treasury securities, which makes
municipal bonds unusually attractive. Finally, Pennsylvania does not exhibit the
budget gaps and deficits prevalent in other states. Changing from a primarily
industrial economy in the 1980's to a technical, financial and export economy in
the 1990's, the State continues to represent fertile ground for municipal bond
investing.
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO MANAGE THE PORTFOLIO TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE CONDITIONS?
To make the most of these conditions, our portfolio objectives

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM (l to r)
TONY TANNER
Vice President,
Rochester Division;
Portfolio Manager
RON FIELDING
Senior Vice President, OppenheimerFunds, Inc.;
Portfolio Manager and
Chief Strategist
include, first, a WIDE MIX OF CREDITS. Currently, the Pennsylvania municipal
market presents many opportunities for us to vary the types of credits in the
portfolio. Diversifying the portfolio over this range of credit types helps us
to take advantage of growth opportunities while softening the impact of cyclical
declines in other areas.
We'll also be working toward an INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ISSUES HELD IN
THE FUND. While individual investors may be better advised to own larger issues,
we rely on our own in-house research to identify smaller issues that are more
appropriate for an actively managed portfolio. Although Pennsylvania's
population is geographically concentrated in a few relatively large metropolitan
areas, part of our strategy is to make ourselves known to issuers and
underwriting firms throughout the entire State. Historically our success has
been based, in part, on uncovering opportunities across the State, including
smaller, non-metropolitan venues. This helps us to find good values in
securities that others have overlooked. We've long felt that if all we did was
buy the highest-rated, largest municipal offerings, we would find it difficult
to justify our management fee.
Another of our strategies is to accumulate holdings through purchases of
bonds in small quantities. We are always searching for underappreciated credits.
In the secondary market, these can often be found in amounts of less than
$100,000. Being highly flexible in our buying gives
6 Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
<PAGE> 7
AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
us a better opportunity to maximize yield for our shareholders. Combining these
purchases in the portfolio enables us to accumulate holdings at more favorable
prices, and enhance liquidity.
WHAT KINDS OF PORTFOLIO CHANGES SHOULD SHAREHOLDERS ANTICIPATE?
This year, shareholders should expect to see some changes in the composition of
the portfolio's holdings that more closely reflect the new managers' views on
how best to maximize tax-free income while maintaining low price volatility. We
anticipate building this portfolio to include more issues and select smaller
issues based on our traditional bottom-up approach. The value that we add
through portfolio management includes the expertise of five full-time investment
professionals and sophisticated recordkeeping--things that most retail investors
can't do themselves.
The management strategies that we've used in other municipal bond funds
have always led us to seek out bonds that will best enhance shareholder
dividends. To keep a pulse on what's coming up in the primary market, we follow
legislative initiatives on new types of bond issuance. For example, the
Pennsylvania legislature has approved a measure that will generate new bond
issues to fund stadium construction. Federal appropriations for transportation
have been modified, and could translate into bond initiatives for mass transit
projects. In 1998 there was over $15 billion in new issuance of municipal debt
in Pennsylvania, passing the previous record set in 1993. We anticipate that
1999 will

CAN BENEFIT THE MOST BY OWNING MUNICIPAL BONDS IN A MUTUAL FUND FORMAT.
bring a host of new opportunities in the higher education sector of the
Pennsylvania municipal bond market, as well.
To find attractive opportunities in the secondary market, we prefer to
meet directly with issuers to maintain firsthand knowledge of their credit
quality and fiscal situation. We can supplement this knowledge with information
provided by municipal bond dealers and analysts. Recently, we have been
researching the prepayment history of premium coupon housing bonds. We don't
anticipate new issuance of many housing bonds in 1999, but our research helps us
to identify good values in previously issued premium coupon housing bonds. We
find the current market for housing bonds to be attractive because we feel such
bonds provide above-average yield with below-average volatility.
WHAT SPECIFIC CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE SO FAR?
We have already made strategic additions to the portfolio that provide high
yield at good value. In making those selections, we're emphasizing income and
broadening of credit exposure. These additions have included bonds from the
non-profit sector, and the tax-exempt bonds of investment grade corporate-backed
issuers. We have purchased small amounts of premium coupon housing bonds, which
we feel provide the opportunity for high yield with low interest-rate risk. When
the most recent Annual Report was issued, there were 48 securities in the
portfolio. By year-end 1999, we expect to include over 100 different securities.
Broader diversification and access to smaller issuers are two ways an
investor can benefit the most by owning municipal bonds in a mutual fund format.
In this manner,
8 Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
<PAGE> 9
AN INTERVIEW WITH YOUR FUND'S MANAGERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
our shareholders gain access to the best securities we can unearth without
placing undue reliance on any single issue.
ARE THERE ANY MARKET SECTORS THAT THE FUND WILL SEEK TO AVOID?
Virtually all market sectors go through some periods that are more favorable
than others. We try to broaden our portfolios so that weakness in one particular
sector doesn't have an unduly negative effect on the portfolio as a whole. On
the upside, it's possible to uncover good values in a sector that's experiencing
some turbulence. This is where knowledge of the municipal market and the
research component of our management style can add significant value for our
shareholders.
In Pennsylvania, Hospital/Healthcare is one such sector. The bankruptcy
last year of Allegheny Health, Education, and Research Foundation (AHERF)
hospitals in Philadelphia had an impact on some, but not all, hospitals in the
state. Your Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund did not own any bonds of
AHERF hospitals in Philadelphia. The market turmoil created by this event leads
us to believe that careful scrutiny may turn up some valuable investment
opportunities.
In the wake of the AHERF bankruptcy, two hospital issues that are in the
portfolio were affected in different ways. The credit rating on Monroeville
Forbes Health System bonds was lowered from A- to B; however, the Philadelphia
Jeanes Hospital Project issues in the Fund were upgraded--from BBB to BBB+.
These divergent outcomes within the sector have caused considerable concern
among investors; they also indicate that this is an area where good values can
be found.

STANDARDIZED YIELDS(1)
For the 30 Days
Ended 1/31/99
CLASS A 4.24%
CLASS B 3.68%
CLASS C 3.68%
We're using our research capabilities to uncover the best ways to profit
from turmoil caused by the AHERF bankruptcy. Hospitals can be good investments
for a widely diversified portfolio--but finding investments that represent good
value requires patience, experience and commitment. Although the Healthcare
sector comprises 19.4% of the portfolio as of January 31, 1999, more than
one-third of that amount is secured by municipal bond insurance or U.S. Treasury
securities, and is rated AAA. We're monitoring the remainder of the portfolio's
commitment to this sector, and we'll make adjustments where we see the best
opportunities for the Fund.
1. Standardized Yield is based on net investment income for the 30-day period
ended 1/31/99. Falling share prices will tend to artificially raise yields.
Cumulative total returns (not annualized) for the six month period ended 1/31/99
were as follows: For Class A shares, 3.51% without sales charges, and -1.41%
with current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%; For Class B shares, 3.12%
without sales charges, -1.88% with the applicable contingent deferred sales
charge of 5%; For Class C shares, 3.21% without sales charges, 2.21% with
contingent deferred sales charge of 1%. An explanation of the different
performance calculations is in the Fund's prospectus. Class B and C shares are
subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge. Performance without sales
charges includes changes in net asset value per share without deducting any
sales charges. Such performance would have been lower if sales charges had been
taken into account.

any rating organization are included in the equivalent Standard & Poor's rating
category. Average credit quality and allocation include securities rated by a
national rating organization as well as unrated securities (currently 14.3% of

1. Represents the current interest rate for a variable rate bond known as an
"inverse floater" which pays 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 $9,723,718 or 9.46% of the
Fund's net assets as of January 31, 1999.
2. For zero coupon bonds, the interest rate shown is the effective yield on the
date of purchase.
3. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted--See Note 6 of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund (the Fund) is a separate series of
Oppenheimer Multi-State Municipal Trust, a non-diversified, open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek as high a level of current
interest income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania personal income taxes as is
available from municipal securities, consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund's investment advisor 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 that class
and exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting that 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 an
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than
those attributable to a specific class), 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.
25 Oppenheimer Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
<PAGE> 26
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
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. As of July 31, 1998, the
Fund had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss
carryover of approximately $1,446,000, which expires between 2002 and 2006.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. 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
January 31, 1999, a provision of $2,489 was made for the Fund's projected
benefit obligations, resulting in an accumulated liability of $67,802 as of
January 31, 1999.
The Board of Trustees had adopted a deferred compensation plan for
independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a
portion of annual fees they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the
plan, the compensation deferred is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent
amount had been invested for the Trustee in shares of one or more Oppenheimer
funds selected by the Trustee. The amount paid to the Trustee under the plan
will be determined based upon the performance of the selected funds. Deferral of
Trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and
will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net income per
share.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. The character of the distributions made during the year from net
investment income or net realized gains may differ from its 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 fiscal year in which 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). 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, on
disposition or maturity, taxable ordinary income is recognized to the extent of
the lesser of gain or market discount that would have accrued over the holding
period. 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.
The Fund concentrates its investments in Pennsylvania and, therefore,
may have more credit risks related to the economic conditions of Pennsylvania
than a portfolio with a broader geographical diversification.
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.

3. UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON INVESTMENTS
As of January 31, 1999, net unrealized appreciation on investments of $5,914,049
was composed of gross appreciation of $6,434,622, and gross depreciation of
$520,573.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management fees paid
to the Manager were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with
the Fund which provides for a fee of 0.60% of the first $200 million of average
annual net assets, 0.55% of the next $100 million, 0.50% of the next $200
million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $250 million and
0.35% of average annual net assets in excess of $1 billion. Effective January 1,
1997, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive a portion of its
management fee, whereby the Fund pays a fee not to exceed 0.57% of average
annual net assets. The Fund's management fee for the six months ended January
31, 1999 was 0.60% of the average annual net assets of Class A, Class B and
Class C shares before the voluntary waiver by the Manager.
For the six months ended January 31, 1999, commissions (sales charges
paid by investors) on sales of Class A shares totaled $110,805, of which $16,909
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 A, Class
B and Class C shares totaled $11,500, $101,712 and $7,823, respectively. Amounts
paid to an affiliated broker/dealer for Class B shares were $4,556. During the
six months ended January 31, 1999, OFDI received contingent deferred sales
charges of $15,925 upon redemption of Class B 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 other Oppenheimer
funds. OFS's total costs of providing such services are allocated ratably to
these funds.
Expenses paid indirectly represent a reduction of custodian fees for
earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund.
The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares to reimburse OFDI
for a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the personal service and
maintenance of shareholder accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is
made quarterly at an annual rate that may not exceed 0.15% 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 January 31, 1999, OFDI paid $3,019 to an
affiliated broker/dealer as reimbursement for Class A personal service and
maintenance expenses.

4. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED) The Fund
has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B and Class C shares to
compensate OFDI for its costs in distributing Class B and Class C shares and
servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays OFDI an annual asset-based
sales charge of 0.75% per year on Class B and Class C shares, for its services
rendered in distributing Class B and Class C shares. OFDI also receives a
service fee of 0.25% (voluntarily reduced to 0.15% by the Fund's Board) per year
to compensate dealers for providing personal services for accounts that hold
Class B and Class C shares. Each fee is computed on the average annual net
assets of Class B or Class C shares, determined as of the close of each regular
business day. During the six months ended January 31, 1999, OFDI retained
$91,652 and $19,580, respectively, as compensation for Class B and Class C sales
commissions and service fee advances, as well as financing costs. If either 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 distributing shares before
the Plan was terminated. As of January 31, 1999, OFDI had incurred excess
distribution and servicing costs of $632,630 for Class B and $52,956 for Class
C.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. 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 than actually
buying fixed income securities.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit
either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount 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.
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.

6. ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES
As of January 31, 1999, investments in 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
periodically) in illiquid and 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 as of January 31, 1999, was $8,802,797, which
represents 8.56% of the Fund's net assets.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes including,
without limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided asset coverage
for borrowings exceeds 300%. The Fund has entered into an agreement which
enables it to participate with other Oppenheimer funds in an unsecured line of
credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $400 million, collectively.
Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to
the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.35%. Borrowings are payable 30 days after such
loan is executed. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata
share of the average unutilized amount of the credit facility at a rate of
0.0575% per annum.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding during the six months ended
January 31, 1999.
