                      OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FUND
                     Supplement dated June 24, 1994 to the
                       Prospectus dated February 1, 1994

The Prospectus is amended as follows:

1.   The Prospectus supplement dated June 16, 1994 is hereby replaced with
this supplement.  

2.   The following paragraphs are added at the end of "Management of the
Fund" on page 11:

     The Fund's Board of Trustees has determined that it is in the
     best interest of the Fund's shareholders that the Fund
     reorganize with and into Oppenheimer Global Bio-Tech Fund ("Bio-
     Tech"), following Bio-Tech's change in fundamental investment
     policy (as described below), and unanimously approved the terms
     of an agreement and plan of reorganization to be entered into
     between these funds (the "reorganization plan") and the
     transactions contemplated thereby (the "reorganization").  The
     Board further determined that the reorganization should be
     recommended to the Fund's shareholders for approval.

     The reorganization will be conditioned upon, among other things,
     the prior approval by the shareholders of Bio-Tech of the
     elimination of that fund's fundamental investment policy that
     65% of its assets be invested in biotechnology companies,
     thereby permitting the fund to emphasize investments in a
     variety of emerging growth companies located worldwide.  If Bio-
     Tech shareholders approve the change in investment policy, Bio-
     Tech's name will be changed accordingly.  It is contemplated
     that, pursuant to the reorganization plan, (i) substantially all
     of the assets of the Fund would be exchanged for shares of Bio-
     Tech, as changed, (ii) these shares would be distributed among
     the shareholders of the Fund, (iii) the Fund would be
     liquidated, and (iv) the outstanding shares of the Fund would
     be cancelled.  The reorganization is contemplated to be tax-
     free, pursuant to Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
     of 1986, as amended, and the Fund will request an opinion of tax
     counsel to that effect.

     A meeting of the shareholders of the Fund with respect to the
     reorganization is expected to be held on November 4, 1994 unless
     otherwise determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees.  The
     affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares (as
     defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Fund is required
     for approval of the reorganization, including the reorganization
     plan.  There can be no assurance that the shareholders of Bio-
     Tech will approve the proposed change to that fund, nor that the
     Fund's shareholders will approve the reorganization.  Details
     about the proposed reorganization, including information
     concerning the changes to Bio-Tech as approved by that fund's
     shareholders, will be contained in a proxy statement and other
     soliciting materials to be sent to the Fund's shareholders of
     record on September 8, 1994, the record date for the shareholder
     meeting.  Shareholders of the Fund that first acquired Fund
     shares after the record date for the shareholder meeting will
     not be entitled to vote on the reorganization.
