Oppenheimer Strategic Income & Growth Fund
3410 South Galena Street
Denver, Colorado 80231

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  October 1, 1996 through June 20,
1997 when the Fund ceased its  operations,  5,104,789.528  shares of  beneficial
interest  of Class A,  Class B and  Class C shares  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, however,  contain an express disclaimer of
shareholder  liability  for acts or  obligations  of the Trust and requires that
notice of such

                                                         1

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.
