## Discrepancy

SLATS WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER TAKEOFF.  SLAT/FLAP HANDLE WOULD ONLY OPERATE BETWEEN 15/0 AND 20/20 POSITIONS.  RETURNED TO MEM AND MADE 20/20 LANDING.  NO OTHER INDICATIONS OF MALFUNCTION ON SFPI OR FLAPS/SLATS SYS 1/2 INDICATIONS.  FOUND DEBRIS IN FLAP HANDLE.  REMOVED AND OPERATED.  OPS CHECKS AS PER AIRBUS M/M 27-50-00.
