Where were you when John F. Kennedy was assasinated?  What procedures were in place to transition to a new government in case of a disaster?  How much did we really know about the Cuban Missle Crisis?

"Norm had everyone in our group absolutely spellbound!  His personal, first-hand accounts of the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy’s assassination, the transition of power to President Johnson, and our nation’s secret facilities brought history to life for me in a way I’ve never experienced before. I felt as if I was almost there myself. 

When Norman was finished, no one wanted to leave.  We requested that he extend his time with us so he could continue to speak. An absolutely unique, gripping, and outstanding presentation of one of the most significant times in our nation’s history."

A dynamic, polished public speaker

Norm Katz is a captivating, electrifying speaker whose ability to excite audiences make them feel as if they were there too! After one recent presentation (including a half-hour Q+A session), the organization’s event manager noted, “You could hear a pin drop.” He added, “he mesmerized the whole audience!"

He has a PowerPoint presentation that includes rare photographs, many never published because of the veil of secrecy surrounding the assassination and Secret Service operations. His training includes Cryptography and Clandestine Operations. He has Top Secret Clearance and has held classified positions with NATO, Crypto, Q, Cosmic, The White House, among others.

He can speak as an insider on the Cuban Missile Crisis, which he witnessed while with the Chiefs of Staff of the United States Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. He is a dynamic, polished orator on various topics of interest to business and professional groups, universities, men’s and women’s groups, virtually any group desiring an interesting, experienced speaker.
