We observe signals for the decays psi(3770)-->XJ/psi from data acquired with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider with sqrt(s)=3773 MeV. We measure the following branching fractions [script B](psi(3770)-->XJ/psi) and significances: (189±20±20)×10-5 (11.6sigma) for X=pi+pi-, (80±25±16)×10-5 (3.4sigma) for X=pi0pi0, and (87±33±22)×10-5 (3.5sigma) for X=eta, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. The radiative return process e+e--->gammapsi(2S) populates the same event sample and is used to measure Gammaee[psi(2S)]=(2.54±0.03±0.11) keV.
