Oppenheimer International Bond 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  International  Bond 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 year ending September 30, 1996,  9,721,751
Class A shares of beneficial  interest,  8,129,566  Class B shares of beneficial
interest and 1,915,475  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 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.

                                            /s/ Allan B. Adams
                                    By_________________________________
