OPPENHEIMER MULTI-GOVERNMENT TRUST Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048-0203 PROXY STATEMENT Annual Meeting Of Shareholders To Be Held May 3, 1995 This Proxy Statement is furnished to the shareholders of Oppenheimer Multi-Government Trust (the "Fund") in connection with the solicitation by the Fund's Board of Trustees of proxies to be used at an Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 3410 South Galena Street, Denver, Colorado 80231, at 11:00 A.M., Denver time, on May 3, 1995, or any adjournments thereof (the "Meeting"). For a free copy of the annual report covering the operations of the Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, call Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., the Fund's transfer agent, at 1-800-647-7374. The enclosed proxy, if properly executed and returned, will be voted (or counted as an abstention or withheld from voting) in accordance with the choices specified thereon, and will be included in determining whether there is a quorum to conduct the Meeting. The proxy will be voted in favor of the nominees for Trustee named in this Proxy Statement unless a choice is indicated to withhold authority to vote for all listed nominees or any individual nominee. The proxy will be voted in favor of the Proposal to ratify the selection of independent auditors unless a choice is indicated to vote against or to abstain from voting on the Proposal. Shares owned of record by broker-dealers for the benefit of their customers ("street account shares") will be voted by the broker-dealer based on instructions received from its customers. If no instructions are received, the broker-dealer may (if permitted under applicable stock exchange rules), as record holder, vote such shares in the same proportion as that broker-dealer votes street account shares for which voting instructions were timely received. If a shareholder executes and returns a proxy but fails to indicate how the votes should be cast, the proxy will be voted in favor of the election of each of the nominees named herein for Trustee and in favor of the Proposal. The proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the voting by: (1) writing to the Secretary of the Fund at Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048-0203; (2) attending the Meeting and voting in person; or (3) signing and returning a new proxy (if returned and received in time to be voted). The cost of the preparation and distribution of these proxy materials is an expense of the Fund. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies may be solicited by officers or employees of the Fund's transfer agent, personally or by telephone; any expenses so incurred will also be borne by the Fund. Brokers, banks and other fiduciaries may be required to forward soliciting material to their principals and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. For those services they will be reimbursed by the Fund for their out-of-pocket expenses. Shares Outstanding and Entitled to Vote. As of March 10, 1995, the record date, there were 6,615,505 shares of the Fund issued and outstanding. All shares of the Fund have equal voting rights as to the election of Trustees and as to the Proposal described herein, and the holders of shares are entitled to one vote for each share (and a fractional vote for a fractional share) held of record at the close of business on the record date. As of the record date, no person owned of record or was known by the management of the Fund to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES The Declaration of Trust of the Fund provides that the Board of Trustees shall consist of three classes of Trustees with overlapping three year terms. One class of Trustees is to be elected each year with terms extending to the third succeeding annual meeting after such election, or until their successors shall be duly elected and shall have qualified. At the Meeting, five Trustees in Class B are to be elected at the Meeting for a three year term, as described below, or until the respective successors of each shall be duly elected and shall have qualified. The persons named as attorneys-in-fact in the enclosed proxy have advised the Fund that unless the proxy instructs them to withhold authority to vote for all listed nominees or any individual nominee, all validly executed proxies will be voted by them for the election of the nominees named below as Trustees of the Fund. The proxies being solicited cannot be voted for more than five nominees. Each of the Class B nominees, Robert Galli, Benjamin Lipstein, Kenneth Randall, Edward Regan and Russell Reynolds, is presently a Trustee and has been previously elected by shareholders of the Fund. Each nominee has agreed to be nominated and to serve as a Trustee. Class B Trustees to be elected at the Meeting shall serve as such for a three year term, or until their respective successors shall be duly elected and shall have qualified, and constitute the second class of the Board. The first and third classes of the Board and the expiration dates of their terms of office are shown below. Each of the nominees and other Trustees is also a trustee or director of Oppenheimer Fund, Oppenheimer Global Fund, Oppenheimer Global Emerging Growth Fund, Oppenheimer Global Growth & Income Fund, Oppenheimer Growth Fund, Oppenheimer Time Fund, Oppenheimer Target Fund, Oppenheimer Tax-Free Bond Fund, Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Oppenheimer New York Tax-Exempt Fund, Oppenheimer California Tax-Exempt Fund, Oppenheimer Multi-State Tax-Exempt Trust, Oppenheimer Asset Allocation Fund, Oppenheimer Mortgage Income Fund, Oppenheimer Discovery Fund, Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust and Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust (together with the Fund, the "New York OppenheimerFunds"). Mr. Spiro is President of the Fund and of each of the other New York OppenheimerFunds. The nominees and other Trustees indicated below by an asterisk are "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, hereinafter referred to as the "Investment Company Act") of the Fund due to the positions indicated with the Fund's investment adviser, Oppenheimer Management Corporation (the "Adviser") or its affiliates or other positions described. The year given below indicates when the nominees and the other Trustees first became a trustee or director of any of the New York OppenheimerFunds without a break in service. If a nominee should be unable to accept election, the Board of Trustees may, in its discretion, select another person to fill the vacant position. As of March 1, 1995, Sidney M. Robbins, a Trustee, beneficially owned 500 shares of the Fund. Benjamin Lipstein, a Trustee, disclaims beneficial ownership of the 1,069 shares of the Fund held as of March 1, 1995 by his wife, Roslyn Lipstein.

The Trustees meet regularly to review the activities of the Fund and the Adviser, which is responsible for the Fund's day-to-day operations. Six regular meetings of the Trustees were held in the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 and all of the Trustees except for Mr. Cherne were present for at least 75% of those meetings. The Trustees of the Fund have appointed an Audit Committee, comprised of Messrs.

The functions of the Audit Committee include (i) making recommendations to the Board concerning the selection of independent auditors for the Fund (subject to shareholder ratification); (ii) reviewing the methods, scope and results of audits and the fees charged; (iii) reviewing the adequacy of the Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls; and (iv) establishing a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent auditors and its independent Trustees. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 and all members except for Mr. Cherne attended at least 75% of those meetings. The Board of Trustees does not have a standing nominating or compensation committee. Remuneration of Trustees. The officers of the Fund are affiliated with the Manager; they and the Trustees of the Fund who are affiliated with the Manager (Messrs. Galli and Spiro; Mr. Spiro is also an officer) receive no salary or fee from the Fund. The Trustees of the Fund (including Mr. Delaney, a former Trustee, but excluding Messrs. Galli and Spiro) received the total amounts shown below (i) from the Fund, during its fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, and (ii) from all 19 of the New York-based OppenheimerFunds (including the Fund) listed in the third paragraph of this section (and from Oppenheimer Global Environment Fund, a former New York-based OppenheimerFund), for services in the positions shown: [Download Table] Total Compensation Aggregate From All Compensation New York-based Name Position from Fund OppenheimerFunds1 Leon Levy Chairman and 1,789 $141,000.00 Trustee Leo Cherne Audit Committee 873 $ 68,800.00 Member and Trustee Edmund T.

The Fund has adopted a retirement plan that provides for payment to a retired Trustee of up to 80% of the average compensation paid during that Trustee's five years of service in which the highest compensation was received. A Trustee must serve in that capacity for any of the New York- based OppenheimerFunds for at least 15 years to be eligible for the maximum payment. Because retirement benefits are determined by future compensation, such benefits are not presently estimable. No provision was made during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 for the Fund's projected retirement benefit obligations. No payments have been made by the Fund under the plan as of October 31, 1994. Officers of the Fund. Each officer of the Fund is elected by the Trustees to serve an annual term.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS (Proposal No. 1) The Investment Company Act requires that independent certified public accountants and auditors ("auditors") be selected annually by the Board of Trustees and that such selection be ratified by the shareholders at the next-convened annual meeting of the Fund, if one is held. The Board of Trustees of the Fund, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Fund or the Adviser, at a meeting held October 17, 1994, selected KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("Peat Marwick") as auditors of the Fund for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 1994. Peat Marwick also serves as auditors for certain other funds for which the Adviser acts as investment adviser. At the Meeting, a resolution will be presented for the shareholders' vote to ratify the selection of Peat Marwick as auditors. Representatives of Peat Marwick are not expected to be present at the Meeting but will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence. The Board of Trustees recommends approval of the selection of Peat Marwick as auditors of the Fund.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Adviser. Subject to the authority of the Board of Trustees, the Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's business pursuant to its investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The Manager (including a subsidiary) currently manages investment companies, including other OppenheimerFunds, with assets of more than $29 billion as of December 31, 1994, and with more than 2.4 million shareholder accounts. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oppenheimer Acquisition Corporation ("OAC"), a holding company controlled by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"). MassMutual is located at 1295 State Street, Springfield, Massachusetts 01111. OAC acquired the Adviser on October 22, 1990. As indicated below, the common stock of OAC is owned by (i) certain officers and/or directors of the Adviser, (ii) MassMutual and (iii) another investor. No institution or person holds 5% or more of OAC's outstanding common stock except MassMutual. MassMutual has engaged in the life insurance business since 1851. It is the nation's twelfth largest life insurance company by assets and has an A.M. Best Co. rating of "A++". The common stock of OAC is divided into three classes. At December 31, 1994, MassMutual held (i) all of the 2,160,000 shares of Class A voting stock, (ii) 422,023 shares of Class B voting stock, and (iii) 937,403 shares of Class C non-voting stock. This collectively represented 80.2% of the outstanding common stock and 86.5% of the voting power of OAC as of that date. Certain officers and/or directors of the Adviser held (i) 706,286 shares of the Class B voting stock, representing 16.1% of the outstanding common stock and 10.9% of the voting power, and (ii) options acquired without cash payment which, when they become exercisable, allow the holders to purchase up to 744,282 shares of Class C non-voting stock. That group includes persons who serve as officers of the Fund and two of whom (Messrs. Donald W. Spiro and Robert G. Galli) serve as Trustees of the Fund. Holders of OAC Class B and Class C common stock may put (sell) their shares and vested options to OAC or MassMutual at a formula price (based on earnings of the Adviser). MassMutual may exercise call (purchase) options on all outstanding shares of both such classes of common stock and vested options at the same formula price, according to a schedule that will commence on September 30, 1995. Since November 1, 1993, the only transaction by persons who serve as Trustees of the Fund in excess of 1% of the outstanding shares of Common stock or options of OAC were by Mr. Galli, who surrendered to OAC 45,445 stock appreciation rights issued in tandem with the Class C OAC options for $2,821,736, and by Mr. Spiro, who sold 50,000 shares of Class B OAC common stock to Mass Mutual for $3,740,000 in each instance for cash payments by OAC or MassMutual to be made as follows: one third of the amount due (i) within 30 days of the transaction, (ii) by the first anniversary following the transaction (with interest), and (iii) by the second anniversary following the transaction (with interest).
