    needed to ensure an adequate level of safety in flight.
        ``(2) Duration of first-class medical certificate.--No person 
    who has attained 60 years of age may serve as a pilot of an air 
    carrier engaged in covered operations unless the person has a

    examination shown on the certificate.
    ``(h) Safety.--
        ``(1) Training.--Each air carrier engaged in covered operations 
    shall continue to use pilot training and qualification programs

    pilots who have attained 60 years of age, to ensure continued 
    acceptable levels of pilot skill and judgment.

    any, on aviation safety of the modification to pilot age standards 
    made by subsection (a).''.
    (b) Clerical Amendment.--The analysis for chapter 447 of title 49, 
United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

                               Speaker of the House of Representatives.

                            Vice President of the United States and    
                                               President of the Senate.

A: Fair Treatment for Experienced Pilots Act - Amends federal transportation law to allow a pilot who has attained 60 years of age to serve as a passenger airline pilot until the age of 65, provided that a pilot who has attained age 60 may serve as pilot-in-command on international flights only if there is another pilot in the flight crew who has not yet attained 60 years of age.

Prohibits subjecting pilots to different medical examinations and standards on account of age unless to ensure an adequate level of safety in flight, except that no person who has attained 60 years of age may serve as a pilot unless such person has a first-class medical certificate.

Requires air carriers to: (1) continue to provide FAA-approved training to pilots, with specific emphasis on initial and recurring training and qualification of pilots who have attained 60 years of age; and (2) evaluate, every six months, the performance of pilots who have attained 60 years of age through a line check of such pilot.

Requires the Comptroller General to report to Congress on the effect of the modification of pilot age requirements, if any, on aviation safety.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Veterans Mental Health Care Capacity 
Enhancement Act of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Mental health treatment capacity at community-based 
        outpatient clinics remains inadequate and inconsistent, despite 
        the requirement under section 1706(c) of title 38, United 
        States Code, that every primary care health care facility of 
        the Department of Veterans Affairs develop and carry out a plan 
        to meet the mental health care needs of veterans who require 
        such services.
            (2) In 2001, the minority staff of the Committee on 
        Veterans' Affairs of the Senate conducted a survey of 
        community-based outpatient clinics and found that there was no 
        established systemwide baseline of acceptable mental health 
        service levels at such clinics.
            (3) In 2004, the Department of Veterans Affairs workgroup 
        on mental health care, which developed and submitted a 
        Comprehensive Mental Health Strategic Plan to the Secretary of 
        Veterans Affairs, found service and funding gaps within the 
        Department of Veterans Affairs health care system, and made 
        numerous recommendations for improvements. As of May 2005, 
        Congress had not received a final report on the workgroup's 
        findings.
            (4) In February 2005, the Government Accountability Office 
        reported that the Department of Veterans Affairs had not fully 
        met any of the 24 clinical care and education recommendations 
        made in 2004 by the Special Committee on Post-Traumatic Stress 
        Disorder of the Under Secretary for Health, Veterans Health 
        Administration.

performance contracts entered into with Network Directors to prioritize 
mental health services--
            ``(i) establishing appropriate staff-patient ratio levels 
        for various programs (including mental health services at 
        community-based outpatient clinics);
            ``(ii) fostering collaborative environments for providers; 
        and
            ``(iii) encouraging clinicians to conduct mental health 
        consultations during primary care visits.''.
    (b) Inflationary Indexing of Capacity Requirements.--Section 
1706(b) of title 38, United States Code, is amended by adding at the 
end the following:
    ``(7) For the purposes of meeting and reporting on the capacity 
requirements under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall ensure that the 
funding levels allocated for specialized treatment and rehabilitative 
services for disabled veterans are adjusted for inflation each fiscal 
year.''.
    (c) Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.--Section 1706(c) of 
title 38, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(1)'' before ``The Secretary''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(2) The Secretary shall ensure that not less than 90 percent of 
community-based outpatient clinics have the capacity to provide onsite, 
contract-referral, or tele-mental health services--
            ``(A) for at least 10 percent of all clinic visits by not 
        later than September 30, 2006; and
            ``(B) for at least 15 percent of all clinic visits by not

        than 5 days of inpatient, residential detoxification services 
        onsite or at a nearby contracted or Department facility; and
            ``(B) a case manager is assigned to coordinate follow up
