The Senate Indian Affairs Committee has lifted an "administrative" hold on Bureau of Indian Affairs nominee Dave Anderson.

The committee had approved Anderson by a 13-0 vote last month. But it placed a hold to get more information on Anderson, a spokesperson for Sen. Mark Dayton (R-Minn.) said. The nomination would now go to the full Senate for confirmation.

Anderson, a resident of Minnesota, is founder of the Famous Dave's barbecue chain of restaurants.
