## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB-OUT FROM LAS, LEADING EDGE SLATS WOULD NOT RETRACT.  FLIGHT CREW ELECTED TO RETURN TO LAS FOR A NORMAL LANDING, NO EMERGENCY PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED.  MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL INSPECTED AND FOUND THE FLAP/SLAT LOCK OUT BUTTON STICKY.  THE BUTTON WAS CLEANED PER MM 27-50-00.  SYSTEM OPERATION PERFORMED NORMAL.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
