We report the discovery of two simultaneous quasi-periodic oscillations in the persistent flux of GX 349+2 at frequencies 712 +/- 9 and 978 +/- 9 Hz, with rms amplitudes 1.25% +/- 0.34% and 1.34 +/- 0.32%, respectively. During our 152 ks observation with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, GX 342+2 was in either the normal branch or the flaring branch with count rates in the nominal 2-60 keV RXTE-PCA band ranging from a low of 8,000 cps to a high of 15,000 cps. The kHz QPOs were observed only when the source was at the top of the normal branch when the count rate was about 8,200 cps corresponding to a flux of 1.4E-8 ergs/cm**2/s in the 2-10 keV band. With this report, now kHz QPOs have been observed in all the 6 Z sources.
