It appears the AP article was published on June 29th, 1989. [0]

As an aside, I'm not sure why they call it an AP "dispatch" in this case. Does anyone know the definition of the term dispatch in this context?

Back then AP didn't publish things on their own. They just sent it out ("dispatched it") to subscribing newspapers.
