Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige and former Cabinet member Drew Lewis are the leading candidates to succeed budget director David A. Stockman, White House chief of staff Donald T. Regan said. Baldridge and Lewis have indicated an interest in the post, Administration officials said. Regan, while stressing “no decision” has been made on a Stockman successor, named Baldrige and Lewis as being at the top of “quite a long list of candidates.” Officials said President Reagan is expected to make his choice before Stockman leaves office Aug. 1 to work on Wall Street.
