No, Stockman was OMB director and the man everyone in the executive branch was bowing down to as RR had given him almost plenary power in fixing agency budgets. Webb originally had refused the offer of Director of the VA as he would not have direct access to the President in that office. He accepted SecNav because he did. Webb loathed Stockman as someone who evaded the draft by entering seminary even though he had no plans to become a clergyman and was simply exploiting a loophole for totally pragmatic personal ends.

David Stockman was at OMB not James Stockman.
