                   OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC INCOME & GROWTH FUND
                      Supplement dated March 6, 1997 to the
                        Prospectus dated January 15, 1997

The Prospectus is changed as follows:

         The  following  paragraphs  are  added  at the end of "How  the Fund is
Managed" on page 26:

      The Board of  Trustees of the Fund has  determined  that it is in the best
      interest of the Fund's shareholders that the Fund reorganize with and into
      Oppenheimer  Multiple  Strategies Fund. The Board of Trustees  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  (the  transactions  are  referred  to  as  the
      "Reorganization").  The  Board of  Trustees  further  determined  that the
      Reorganization   should  be  submitted  to  the  Fund's  shareholders  for
      approval, and recommended that shareholders approve the Reorganization.

      Pursuant to the  Reorganization  Plan, (i) substantially all of the assets
      of the  Fund  would  be  exchanged  for  shares  of  Oppenheimer  Multiple
      Strategies Fund, (ii) these shares of Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies Fund
      would be distributed to the shareholders of the Fund, (iii) the Fund would
      be  liquidated,  and  (iv) the  outstanding  shares  of the Fund  would be
      canceled.  It is  expected  that  the  Reorganization  will  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 has been scheduled for June 17, 1997 to vote
      on  the  Reorganization.  Approval  of  the  Reorganization  requires  the
      affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding  shares of the Fund .The
      term  "majority"  is defined in the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as
      amended,  as a special majority.  It is also explained in the Statement of
      Additional Information. There is no assurance that the Fund's shareholders
      will approve the Reorganization.  Details about the Reorganization will be
      contained in a proxy statement and other  soliciting  materials to be sent
      to the Fund's  shareholders  of record as of April 11,  1997.  Persons who
      become  shareholders of the Fund after the record date for the shareholder
      meeting will not be entitled to vote on the reorganization.

March 6, 1997                                                       PS0275.010
