The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was signed in Washington, D.C. by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev on December 8, 1987.
It completely eliminated Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range tactical (often called battlefield combat weapons) Missiles as well as nuclear landmines and demolitions charges on both sides, but had no effect at all on the stockpiles of the much more powerful and destructive Long-Range strategic Missiles.
Action on strategic weapons had to wait for Presidents George H. W. Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev to sign START I on July 31, 1991.
