We report the discovery with the RXTE PCA of kilohertz quasiperiodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in the X-ray flux from the recently discovered neutron star transient XTE J1701-407 (Atel 1569, 1616, 1618, 1621,1630). Power spectral analysis of RXTE PCA Observations obtained on 2008-06-16 at 05:53 UTC, show a strong 30 Hz QPO as well as a high frequency kHz QPO centered at 1150 +- 7 Hz. These QPO frequencies are characteristic of the "atoll" class of accreting neutron stars.
