Gentlemen:
In connection with the public offering of the no par value Class A, Class B and
Class C shares of the Oppenheimer Strategic Income & Growth Fund, a business
trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the
"Trust"), as counsel for the Trust, we have examined such records and documents
and have made such further investigation and examination as we deem necessary
for the purposes of this opinion.
We are advised that during the fiscal period ended September 30, 1996, 2,074,752
Class A shares of beneficial interest, 2,134,954 Class B shares of beneficial
interest and 253,236 Class C shares of beneficial interest of the Trust were
sold in reliance on the registration of an indefinite number of shares pursuant
to Rule 24f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
It is our opinion that the said shares of beneficial interest of each class of
the Trust sold in reliance on Rule 24f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
are legally issued and, subject to the matters mentioned in the next paragraph,
fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.
Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of the Trust may, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for
the obligations of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust does,
<PAGE>
however, contain an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or
obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in
each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust
or the Trustees. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of
the Trust property of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations
of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Trust shall, upon
request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any
act or obligation of the Trust and satisfy any judgment thereon.
Sincerely,
MYER, SWANSON, ADAMS & WOLF, P.C.
