Answer: The statement about New Federalism that is not true is the last one: "President Reagan was able to promote new federalism consistently throughout his administration".

Explanation: New Federalism was a plan launched by Robert Nixon during his presidency, which extended from 1969 until 1974, and continued by President Reagan. However, Reagan's proposals within this plan were not as successful as Nixon's. Moreover, some of Reagan's proposals were not even implemented since they went against another programs or against the interests of particular groups. In that way, it cannot be said that President Reagan was able to promote new federalism in a consistent way; therefore, the last statement provided is false.
