Results are presented from high-resolution molecular observations of NGC 6334 I and NGC 1333, carried out with the IRAM 30-m radio telescope at Pico Veleta (Spain). It was found that NGC 6334 I has a bipolar outflow with terminal velocity of 70 km/sec, which is very young (about 2300 yrs old on kinematical timescale), has a size of 0.18 pc, a mass of 2.3 solar masses, and is centered on the source which excites the compact H II region NGC 6334 F. The core exhibits a velocity gradient that is interpreted as the high-density counterpart of the fast CO outflow. In NGC 1333, the extremely high velocity CO (discovered by Lizano et al., 1988) wings which arise in a neutral wind with terminal velocity of 160 km/sec were mapped. Data presented indicate that the CO bipolar outflows are driven by jetlike neutral winds at extremely high velocities.
