OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FUND
Supplement dated June 16, 1994 to the 
Prospectus dated February 1, 1994

The Prospectus dated February 1, 1994 of Oppenheimer Global Environment
Fund (the "Fund") is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs at
the end of "Management of the Fund" on page 11 thereof:

     The Board of Trustees has determined that it is in the best
     interest of shareholders of the Fund that the Fund reorganize
     with and into a mutual fund to be named Oppenheimer Global Small
     Cap Fund ("Small Cap"), currently Oppenheimer Global Bio-Tech
     Fund ("Bio-Tech"), which fund, subject to shareholder approval
     as described below, is expected to invest primarily in equity
     issues of small capitalization issuers located  worldwide.  At
     a meeting held on June 16, 1994, the Board unanimously approved
     the terms of an agreement and plan of reorganization to be
     entered into between the Fund and Small Cap (the "reorganization
     plan") and the transactions contemplated thereby (the
     "reorganization") and 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 the fundamental investment policy of Bio-Tech
     that 65% of its assets be invested in biotechnology companies,
     thereby permitting the fund to concentrate its investments in
     issues of a variety of small cap companies.  It is contemplated
     that, pursuant to the reorganization plan, (i) substantially all
     of the assets of the Fund would be exchanged for shares of Small
     Cap, (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. 
     Information about the proposed reorganization 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.
