Narrative:
Vectored for approach to runway 12 ZZZ. Given descent and began to configure for landing. Selected flaps 1 degree and EICAS message of leading edge slat disagree, with an associated lockout of slat and flap system. Took delaying vector from ZZZ approach control and ran appropriate emergency checklists in QRH. Prior to final approach declared emergency and requested vehicle to offer a visual inspection of landing gear and break system. As landing at higher than normal speed. After visual inspection of brakes by emergency personal, emergency terminated, and taxied to gate for normal parking and discharge of day. QRH checklists used. Aircraft was attended to by maintenance and aircraft ferried ZZZ1 for further work.
