## Discrepancy

MAINTENANCE DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE LANYARD AT THE 1L DOOR WAS NOT SECURED.  THE LANYARD WAS NOT CONNECTED BETWEEN THE GIRT-BAR AND THE SLIDE RELEASE.  THIS WOULD PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE ESCAPE SLIDE AND IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH 14 CFR PART 121.703.  THE DOOR SLIDE LANYARD WAS RESECURED.
