The American Legion, which is the biggest wartime veterans organization in the U.S., is urging the Senate to strip out language from a major spending bill that would ban most medical testing on dogs at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The House easily approved the language as part of a package of four spending bills in July, and the amendment from Reps. Dave Brat, R-Va., and Dina Titus, D-Nev., was passed in a voice vote. The Senate was set to start work on those bills this week.
