True.

The "necessary and proper clause" gives Congress the power to do things (make and establish laws, etc.) that are not exclusively written in the Constitution. For example: if the Constitution states that Congress is in charge of regulating the national economy, then they hold the power to establish national banks, as national banks support the national economy. These powers are called "implied powers" as they are implied by the constitution.
